Hedgerow Court, an Extra Care estate, is big<br />
on healthy eating.<br />

The restaurant also serves as a lunch club<br />
open to older people in the community. It’s<br />
just received a ‘Healthier Options’ gold star<br />
award from Newham’s Stay Well Healthy Living<br />
Network which aims to make healthy food<br />
affordable and accessible for people over 50.<br />
The award will give Hedgerow residents<br />

organisations within the Stay Well network.<br />
This includes yoga, Tai Chi, salsa, African<br />
dance, cake decoration and cooking and<br />
healthy eating demonstrations, to name a few!<br />
Estate manager Caroline Emerure says,<br />

more healthy meals themselves.” Hopefully<br />
that will include handy tips on how to make<br />
nutritious dishes with all that homegrown<br />
fruit and veg!<br />
