June Wellbeing Challenge: Colour Your Plate 🌈
Fuel for Wellbeing – Focus on: Eat Well
This June, we’re putting wellbeing on the menu with our “Colour Your Plate” Challenge — a fun and simple way to boost energy, support wellbeing, and explore healthy habits together.
The challenge?
Aim to include 5 or more portions of fruit and vegetables every day by adding more colour, variety, and goodness to your meals.
Why colour? Different coloured fruits and vegetables provide different nutrients, vitamins, and health benefits — so the more colourful your plate, the better fuel you’re giving your body and mind.
What’s Happening This Month?
🥗 Healthy Lunch Swap Ideas
Discover easy alternatives and smart swaps that make lunches healthier, tastier, and more energising — without sacrificing convenience.
💧 Hydration Reminder Posters
Share your hydration tips and reminders to help everyone stay refreshed and focused throughout the day.
🍲 Recipe Share Wall
We’d love to see your favourites! Share your go-to healthy recipes, quick meal ideas, or colourful dishes with colleagues. Whether it’s a family recipe, a traditional dish, or a new discovery, every contribution is welcome.
🌍 Celebrating Cultural Diversity Through Food
Food connects us all, and this month is a great opportunity to explore dishes and ingredients from different cultures and traditions. From vibrant Mediterranean salads to nourishing curries, stir-fries, soups, and plant-based favourites — healthy eating looks different around the world, and we’re celebrating every plate.
Simple Ways to Join In
- Add an extra vegetable to your dinner
- Swap crisps for fruit or nuts
- Try a new ingredient or recipe each week
- Keep a water bottle nearby during the workday
- Share your colourful meals with colleagues
Small changes can make a big difference — and together we can build healthier habits that support both wellbeing and productivity.
So, let’s make June colourful, healthy, and delicious.
