SUGAR SMART Barnet
Skip to:
SUGAR SMART Barnet is a local campaign about supporting workplaces, businesses and organisations such as early year settings, schools or charities to reduce sugar consumption. This is aligned with our Local Government Declaration on Healthier Food and Sugar Reduction
Everyone can be involved in this campaign, not just organisations. You can sign up now.
Your organisation can make various SUGAR SMART pledges, for example, you could pledge to:
- actively promote free drinking water
- provide information on healthy food
- run promotions on healthier food and drink options
Working with Sustain, which runs SUGAR SMART, we aim to raise awareness of the health benefits of reducing your sugar intake. Sugar consumption has a major effect on our health especially in children.
In Barnet 1 in 5 children started primary school overweight or obese in 2017/18. For the same year that figure was 1 in 3 for Year 6 pupils.
