Maternal & Infant Nutrition Small Grants Scheme
Background Information
The Scottish Government has allocated funding to NHS Tayside to improve maternal and infant nutrition. If you are delivering nutrition related activities targeted at pregnant women, infants and children up to the age of 5 and vulnerable groups we are keen to look at ways we can support you to deliver these initiatives.
A whole range of activities are eligible for funding, particularly those which can be demonstrated to have a positive impact on improving maternal and infant nutrition and engaging with communities.
Topics that would be considered for funding are:
• Training to upskill staff and volunteers around healthy eating and family food skills
• Events or resources to promote Best Start Foods Scheme
• Events supporting Infant Feeding
• Delivery of initiatives in a nursery setting which includes families
