A new healthy eating project is giving people of all ages something to sink their teeth in.

The All About Centre in Laindon has launched the campaign as part of the Healthy Start scheme, run with the help of South West Essex Primary Care Trust.

Denise Beckley, a qualified fitness and swimming instructor at the centre, said: "We have information about free milk, fruit and vegetables and vitamins. We also provide lunch samples. Hopefully many people will be able to come along."

The centre, at the James Hornsby School in Leinster Road, provides advice and support to tempt people into a healthier lifestyle.

Highlights include a music movement class for under-fives and a lunch followed by a walk. Call 01268 418523 for details.
