Childhood obesity • COVID-19
Programme Director Sarah Hickey shares her reflections on COVID-19's impact on our childhood obesity programme.
Programme Director Sarah Hickey shares how we are continuing to support families at risk of food insecurity as part of our response to COVID-19.

Where children grow up is a big predictor of their chances of becoming overweight or obese. We think the strategy can go further to tackle childhood obesity.
