Food and Fun, Cardiff’s school holiday enrichment programme, was successfully delivered in schools in areas of social deprivation for 12 days
to support families during the summer holidays in 2016.
Food and Fun was awarded the NHS Wales Award 2016. The judging panel described the programme as “a brilliant example of the Well-being of Future
Generations (Wales) Act in action”.
Reducing health, social and educational inequalities at an early age by building capacity through schools and staff (existing public sector
assets) to provide healthy food, physical activities, nutrition education and enrichment activities.
Long Term
Prevention
Ensuring children from disadvantaged backgrounds aren’t exposed to the stresses long school holidays can present (social isolation,
hunger, inactivity, educational inequalities).
Integration
Fits with City of Cardiff Councils “Liveable City” vision as well as priorities for Cardiff and Vale UHB Local Public Health Team and
Public Health Wales’ priority to tackle health inequalities.
Collaboration
Collaborating at a local and national level with multiple organisations to develop an all Wales approach together with the
Welsh Local Government Association.
Involvement
Food and Fun has been shaped by individuals that understand the needs of the children, their families and the wider community
(school staff, parents/carers and children).
A number of agencies in Cardiff, including Communities First teams, either supported or delivered key enrichment activities to
supplement the Food and Fun programme.

Well being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015
What is it?
The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act is about improving the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales.
It will make the public bodies listed in the Act think more about the long-term, work better with people and communities and each other, look to prevent problems and take a more joined-up approach.
This will help us to create a Wales that we all want to live in, now and in the future. To make sure we are all working towards the same vision, the Act puts in place seven well-being goals.
