Sustain is delighted to announce that it has been nominated for a Caroline Walker Trust Award, in the catergory of Charity Food Campaigner of the year.

The Caroline Walker Trust (CWT) awards celebrate the successes in the food and nutrition field to inspire others in this sector to continue the important work they do to support our nation’s health and to advance food and nutrition standards.

The winner of each category will receive the title, an award certificate, £250 honoraria and a star trophy.

Commenting on the entries received, Kathy Lewis, Interim Chair of the CWT, said,

“We are delighted with the diverse range and high-quality entries to this year’s Caroline Walker Trust Awards. Every year we are thrilled to hear of so many ongoing initiatives with a common goal of improving our nation’s health that we hope will continue to inspire and enthuse others working in the nutrition field. The focus on sustainable food highlights the many approaches which are being implemented to demonstrate that food which is good for us is also good for the environment.

The final shortlisted nominees for each category are as follows:

  • Nutritionist of the Year – Dr Glenys Jones, Rhiannon Lambert, Haleh Moravej

In the face of this my colleagues, together with organisations in our alliance, have performed nothing short of miracles.”
