Aberdeen City Council is teaming up with Young Scot and Bite Back, a youth-led movement fighting to make food healthier for young people. Together, we want to make it easier for everyone in Aberdeen to enjoy good, nutritious food. 

We want to hear from you if you:

What’s happening?

Bite Back, supported by Young Scot and Aberdeen City Council, is running a free 2-day workshop during the October holidays, 20th – 21st October, where you’ll:

  • learn how the food system works (especially in Aberdeen)
  • explore how food is marketed to young people
  • come up with ideas to make things healthier
  • build skills and confidence

Plus… there’ll be fun activities, including a trip!

It’s totally free – we’ll pay for your travel, and meals will be provided!
