The Better Start Bradford Innovation Hub have been working with Better Start Bradford to evaluate the projects and early life interventions delivered as part of their programme. Together, we are hosting a series of webinars where we will share findings, alongside research from Born in Bradford's Better Start (BiBBS) - the world's first intervention birth cohort.

This booking page is for the Health, nutrition, and green space webinar 

Initial exploration of the Born in Bradford's Better Start cohort study revealed that over half of mothers were defined as being overweight or obese during pregnancy, a factor which impacts the development of childhood obesity. Services are needed to support children to prevent the development of overweight and obesity by targeting health and eating behaviours. The presence of useable green space as a mechanism for improving the health and wellbeing of children can also not be downplayed. In the Innovation Hub, we have been evaluating these services for almost 10 years. Join us for an insightful webinar on health, nutrition and green space, where we’ll dive into the latest research on services like Breastfeeding support, HENRY, Forest Schools and Better Place. We’ll present key insights from these services and we’ll outline our exciting plans for future evaluations.

Dr. Sara Ahern, Programme Manager for the Better Start Bradford Innovation Hub, will highlight what is needed to support the health and wellbeing of children, both in Bradford, and beyond. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to ask your questions in an interactive Q&A session at the end. Don’t miss this chance to engage with cutting-edge research and learn how we can build a brighter future for the wellbeing of children and families!

We look forward to seeing you there. 

Zoom meeting details will be shared the week before the event.
