What We Stand For
Downham Nutrition Partnership
Downham Nutrition Partnership (DNP) is a registered charity (no. 1100040). We are based in Downham (London Borough of Lewisham) just outside Bromley. DNP was formed in 1999 by Dr Tattersfield (Oakview Family Practice, Shroffold Road) to try and reduce some of the barriers to healthy eating which people on the estate face.
What we eat certainly effects our health; both physically and mentally. Eating the wrong diet increases our chances of long term diseases and illness, and we know that what we feed our children changes their behaviour. Food has the same effect on adults too!
Examples of projects which we have been involved in include:
-
Men's MOT evening - allowing men to have all their vital measurements checked
-
Working with schools to support their whole approach to food
-
Healthy Eating workshops and cookery for parents
-
Community allotments - people are growing their own fresh, organic fruit and vegetables!
- Health bus @ Downham Coop

Many information stands and events
