Healthy families programmes
The Play and Skills at tea-time activities (PASTA) programme is for families with children living in West Lancashire. It lasts for six weeks and takes place at primary schools and community venues.
The programme is a fun and interactive way for families to spend quality time together while learning how to live healthier lives. It explores exciting recipes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, gives practical tips on portion sizes and healthy swaps, and even explains how to use tools like air fryers and soup makers to make mealtimes easier. Everyone in the family gets involved, from cooking, family games and exercise, to washing up.
Our sessions are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, offering a relaxed space where families can connect, try new things, and share experiences. Families will learn ideas for easy, nutritious meals and how small changes can make a big difference to health and wellbeing. PASTA is the perfect opportunity to spend time with your children, make new friends, or pick up new skills.
