FOOTPRINT 3: HEALTHY LIVING

Keeping fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be achieved in many ways. We encourage our customers to discover what’s right for them and help them reap the rewards:

• Research shows that gardening provides a great form of all-round exercise, which utilises all major muscle groups. We encourage our customers to spend time in the garden which helps reduce stress levels.

• Our Ready Steady Dig growing scheme encourages children to look beyond computers and the TV and learn more about gardening and their surroundings.

• Our commitment to healthy living extends into The Fresh Approach Restaurant where we use the highest quality, local ingredients in all our meals, with organic and healthy choices available every day.
