Annual Report 2019_20

Green Prescription has seen many clients have direct contact with our nutritionist through workshops,
1:1 consultations, presentations, and follow-up resources. This is over and above the nutrition
information provided in consults and the 12-week email campaign.
Active for Life, Green Prescription at Harbour Sport have also been working closely with other local
health providers. The GRx teamed have continued their work alongside The FONO to deliver at our
local community churches.
Some other highlights have seen a specific pregnancy focus,
through resource creation and working closely with Healthy
Babies, Healthy Futures. Our community reach also sees the
Green Prescription, Active for Life Team working with Primary
Health Care organisations and regularly delivering at Diabetic
Self-Management courses.
Green Prescription continued to deliver to those who needed
us throughout the COVID lockdown levels via phone calls,
emails, and other contactless means. It has been a difficult
time for our programme and our clients. However, our
support has been resolute and will continue to be, throughout
this global pandemic.
