Breckland Council Overview

Uscreates’ initiative to promote healthy eating behaviours in the workplace is being trialled in a the Healthy Eating Pilot at Breckland Council.

Interventions are being introduced into the workplace and the impact that they have on employee’s productivity levels, dietary health, and absenteeism are being measured.

Breckland Council offices are situated on a business park just outside Dereham in rural Norfolk. The offices houses around 250 employees.

Due to its location and design, there are limited food facilities available to staff. There are four basic kitchens with microwaves and hot water boilers. There is a giant Tesco about 5 minutes walk from the building and there are two sandwich vans, which visit the site first thing in the morning. Unfortunately, there is not a canteen on site and there are no cafes, restaurants or small shops within walking distance.

Track the progress of the pilot on this site.
