On World Food Day 1999, two projects from Girlguiding UK (formerly the Guide Association) were awarded the FAO/WAGGGS Nutrition Award. The two successful projects were completed by the 68th Bradford Rainbows and by the 1st Cullybackey Guides.
The 68th Bradford Rainbows raised awareness of healthy eating, especially the importance of fruit in the diet amongst the people of Bradford. The Rainbows reached a wide range of people in the city including their own families, people who attended regular meetings, passers by who took part in fruit tasting exercises, and passengers on buses who saw the activities going on.
Living conditions in Bradford vary considerably. It is a city with a diverse population but the Rainbows’ project has reached a large cross section of the population. The Rainbows spent about two months educating people in healthy eating. They used a variety of methods to convey their message - giving fruit out in the street, displaying posters and writing letters.
The 1st Cullybackey Guides educated the local community on healthy eating issues, and at the same time made the community more aware of the inequality of food provision worldwide. Local people were involved in completing a healthy eating quiz, which raised money for the overseas charity, Tearfund.
Over 300 people from the local community participated in a food evening, during which they played games that taught basic healthy eating. The participants not only learned about how they can improve their own health and the health of their families, but they also learned about food distribution in the global community.
