The Wellness School Enterprise Week, launched earlier this year, brings together Associates from across the business who are passionate about healthy, active lifestyles and enterprise to share their knowledge with the local community and work together to mentor the students.
Working with Sherard Primary School in Melton Mowbray, Mars Food Associates mentored students to think about four key areas: nutrition, wellness, teamwork and marketing.
The students were encouraged to think creatively in their groups around fun ways to engage and educate other schoolmates about the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle. The end result of the event was a wellness event that engaged and involved the whole school, teachers and parents.
Mars Food UK was also awarded gold in the Education category for the initiative at the annual awards ceremony, which recognises and celebrates the contribution that the UK food and drink sector makes to the economy and to the local communities.
