Communication and Engagement
Effective communication and engagement with families is key to the success of the HAF Programme. The easeINTO newsletter is distributed to around 4,000 families. This is shared in advance of each delivery period ensuring families are well-informed and able to plan. We also ask that all families complete a short feedback form after the events which is analysed in depth and shared with providers. In addition, the programme maintains an active presence on Facebook.
The easeINTO team also strengthen engagement through in-person outreach, attending Family Fun Days, summer events, and local festivals across the region.
A particularly well-received aspect of this outreach is the distribution of free fruit to children, which not only supports healthy eating messaging but also creates a positive and welcoming interaction with families.
