World Breastfeeding Week
This week, we recognise the many benefits of breastfeeding while acknowledging that every family's feeding journey is unique.
Breastfeeding can help support a baby's developing immune system and provides nutrients that adapt to meet a baby's changing needs as they grow.
What's most important is that parents feel empowered to make informed decisions that are right for them and their baby. Every family deserves access to evidence-based advice, understanding and compassionate support, whatever feeding path they choose.
World Breastfeeding Week is an opportunity to raise awareness, celebrate parents and carers, and recognise the importance of creating supportive communities where families can thrive.
💜 Healthy families start with informed choices, encouragement and support.

Blackcurrant Day
A whole day celebrating the humble blackcurrant, a small fruit packed with flavour and goodness!

Did you know?

💜Blackcurrants are rich in vitamin C, with more per 100g than oranges.
💜They contain antioxidants (anthocyanins), which help protect cells in the body.
💜 Blackcurrants have been grown in the UK since the 17th century and were widely cultivated during World War II as a valuable source of vitamin C when other fruits were scarce.
💜 They’re often used in juices, jams, desserts and classic cordials, especially popular in British kitchens for generations.

Alongside their bold taste, blackcurrants are also linked to supporting immunity, eye health and overall wellbeing when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.

So today is a great excuse to enjoy a classic blackcurrant treat, whether it’s a drink, dessert or a spoonful of jam 💜

World Chocolate Day
Today we’re celebrating chocolate — one of the world’s favourite treats with a fascinating history!

Did you know?

🍫 Chocolate comes from the cacao tree, originally grown in Central and South America and first enjoyed by ancient civilisations like the Maya and Aztecs as a bitter, spiced drink.

🍫 The name Theobroma cacao means “food of the gods”, and cacao beans were once even used as currency.

🍫 Chocolate arrived in Europe in the 16th century, where sugar transformed it into the sweet treat we know today.

🍫 Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which are natural antioxidants linked to heart health and wellbeing when enjoyed in moderation.

🍫 Chocolate is also known to help boost mood and create those feel-good moments we all enjoy.

From ancient rituals to modern-day treats, chocolate has been bringing comfort and joy for centuries.

So today is the perfect excuse to enjoy a little chocolate indulgence 🍬💛

Great British Pea Week
It's Great British Pea Week, celebrating one of the nation's favourite vegetables!

Peas may be small, but they have a surprisingly big history. In fact, peas have been eaten by humans for thousands of years and were one of the first vegetables to be frozen commercially. They also played a key role in science when monk and scientist Gregor Mendel used pea plants in the 1800s to discover the basic principles of genetics!

Here are a few more pea-tastic facts:

🫛 The average Brit eats around 9,000 peas every year.
🫛 Frozen peas are typically frozen within just a few hours of being picked, helping to lock in nutrients and flavour.
🫛 Peas are naturally rich in fibre, protein, vitamin C and vitamin K, making them great for supporting digestion, immunity and overall wellbeing.

Whether served with fish and chips, added to soups and casseroles, or enjoyed as part of a healthy meal, peas are a simple way to add nutrition and colour to your plate.

What's your favourite way to enjoy peas? 💚

Alcohol Awareness Week
This year's Alcohol Awareness Week is all about "Alcohol and Me", encouraging us to take a moment to reflect on the role alcohol plays in our lives and how it may affect our health, wellbeing, relationships and everyday experiences.
Alcohol is often woven into celebrations, social gatherings and even quiet evenings at home, but its effects aren't always obvious. Things like disrupted sleep, low energy, increased anxiety and reduced wellbeing can sometimes be linked to our drinking habits.
This week, why not take a few minutes to check in with yourself?
✅ How does alcohol make you feel physically and emotionally?
✅ Could a few alcohol-free days benefit your wellbeing?
✅ Are there small changes you could make that would have a positive impact?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Alcohol Awareness Week is simply an opportunity to start a conversation, learn more, and make informed choices about what works best for you.
