Braintree Community Showcase



Healthy Med Easy have been running Mediterranean diet and lifestyle group classes since January 2023. These run Wednesdays 12.30-1.30pm term time at St Barnabas Hall, Claud Ince Avenue, Cressing, Braintree CM77 8HJ. It costs £5 per session, on a pay as you go basis. Plus, you can help yourself to hot drinks, and there is plenty of free parking available. Classes restart 19th April 2023. All are welcome.


On Wednesday 12th April 2023, Healthy Med Easy was invited to do a table at the Braintree Community Showcase at George's Yard. The Community Showcase is a gathering of community organisations showcasing voluntary and community services available in Braintree District with interactive demonstrations. Examples of attendees with stalls were; Community 360, United in Kind, Carer's First, Provide, Rethink Mental Health plus many more. There were lots of opportunities to get advice, ideas, plus lots of freebies.


As it was the Easter Holidays, and many children were off school. I took the opportunity to focus on children's health. I had some fabulous free colouring and activities for them to do. There was a particularly good reward sheet encouraging children to try new foods. I also had free colourful balloons, bubbles, plastic snake toys, bags, key rings and notebooks. It was so lovely to hear the children asking their parents for healthy foods for dinner.


I also informed visitors to my stall about the Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle groups being run in Cressing. There was a lot of interest and a real buzz, especially around joining in with the Bring and Share session, winning the Biggest Achiever Basket and creating Mediterranean dishes using the air fryer. Community Showcases are generally done each quarter of a year. I am pleased to say that Healthy Med Easy have been invited back to the next event.
