The Food Dudes Healthy Eating Programme is an award winning programme developed by the Food & Activity Research Unit Bangor University, Wales to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables both in school at home. It is based on positive role models (the Food Dudes characters), repeated tasting and rewards.

We are currently in Phase 2 which extends the home element of the programme by encouraging children to bring their own fruit and veg to school every day in special Food Dudes containers. We use a classroom wall chart are to record progress, and the children receive further rewards upon reaching goals. This phase maintains fruit and veg consumption in the longer term.

Here are the boys who have been awarded their Bronze Certificates already:
