Veg Bag Scheme
A lack of access to fruit and vegetables has been identified as one of the barriers to healthy eating, and so four Fruit and Vegetable Bag Schemes will be launched in areas of Kent with accessibility problems and the impact of these on healthy eating knowledge, attitude and behaviour will be evaluated.
For just a small amount each week, you will receive a large eco-friendly, re-useable bag of seasonal fruit and vegetables and recipe cards with information on cooking ideas.
In East Kent, there are several schemes that are up and running in the area.
