Big Way Of Life

The Fun, Food and Fitness Programme is a Healthy Places project run by the Gellideg Foundation Community Association.

The Fun Food & Fitness Programme (FFF) is a partnership initiative which will promote health and well-being amongst under 12s in Merthyr Tydfil, to equip children with the knowledge and skills to change behaviour patterns. The project delivers a series of themed activities and festivals focusing on healthy food, active lifestyles and ‘grow it green’/horticulture to raise awareness and provide opportunities for children, their families and friends.

The FFF team delivers a weekly programme in each area which takes place in local primary schools and in community settings in four participating Communities First areas in Merthyr Tydfil, namely: Cyfarthfa, Dowlais, Aberfan & Merthyr Vale, and Taff Bargoed. In addition, monthly festivals/gatherings take place to celebrate success and for others to come and participate in trying out new activities or tasting new foods.

Way of Life has an excellent core delivery team consisting of an Activity Officer, Catering Tutor, ‘Grow it Green’ Officer and Way of Life Co-ordinator – based at the Gellideg Foundation Group – to promote sustained healthy eating, to increase levels of physical exercise and to inspire a love of gardening and horticulture.
