Action Cancer and Centra presented their fifth annual Health Action awards to sixteen schools across Northern Ireland at the start of October 2007. The health-conscious schools impressed Action Cancer with their proactive approach to health education for pupils, and award-winning schools included those with healthy meals, extra-curricular exercise programmes, cancer awareness projects and shaded play areas for sun protection. The awards are part of Action Cancer’s ongoing Health Action initiative, which offers a range of health promotion roadshows for primary and secondary schools, as well as further education colleges, and is sponsored by Centra.
Pictured at the awards event are Chloe McConville (4) from award-winning Drumnamoe Nursery School, Lurgan, Centra Brand Manager Nicky Kelly, centre, and Emily Magrath from Action Cancer.
