HENRY is 10 years old! We recently marked this major milestone – a decade of supporting parents give their children a healthy, happy start in life – with two exciting and very special events.

Since April, HENRY has been working with A Better Start Southend as part of their 10 year Big Lottery-funded initiative (which began in 2015) aiming to develop new models to improves outcomes for children.

We are absolutely delighted that HENRY has been awarded a 3 year contract in Hackney and the City of London.

Find out more about our new programme supporting parents to cook healthy simple meal for the whole family, including where the programme is being delivered and how to start running it in your area.

HENRY has developed a new, standalone intervention to support parents introducing their children to solid foods.

Trustees Jo and Anne are cycling 250 miles across two countries in just 10 days to support HENRY. Find out how to follow their journey and donate to help families across the UK thrive.

The Obesity Health Alliance is calling for a 9pm watershed to protect children from junk food marketing plus a ban on brands associated with junk food products sponsoring programmes popular with children. 6 in 10 food adverts during family TV shows push junk food, new study reveals. In the worst case, children were exposed to nine junk food adverts in just 30 minutes.

HENRY’s Healthy Families: Right from the Start programme had its most successful year yet, with a record number of parents completing the 8-week programme in 2015-2016. A total of 1,857 parents participated, bringing the total number of families supported by the programme to over 8,000 since its inception nine years ago.
