Ballinasloe - a real healthy Town!

As part of our Fit Town Project we have joined with local food business to develop Ballinasloe as Healthy Food Town.  The initiative is aimed at complementing the 'Healthy' element of the project in encouraging and supporting people to make healthy food choices. 

Each business was asked to make one or more healthy offering available to customers or to highlight healthy choices they currently provide.  We are asking you to support the businesses in their efforts by choosing to shop local and to encourage all your family and friends to do likewise.  It is the best choice for you and your family, for our community and for our local economy. 

If you would like your business to be part of this community initiative please click this link to download the application form and return to [email protected]"
