Thrive Under 5 (TU5) is a pilot project funded by Scottish Government and delivered by Health Improvement staff from NHSGCC. Through a whole systems approach to tackling child poverty in selected neighbourhoods, the programme aims to support children under the age of five to achieve a healthy weight.
The project works in partnership with others to tackle the issue of food insecurity, and provides families with the resources and knowledge to make healthier choices. Funding has helped to support a range of actions and interventions in each community. The project has been evolving since 2021.
