‘Check It Out’ campaign – going from strength to strength The ‘Check It Out – Healthy Body, Healthy Mind’ campaign running in conjunction with the Nottingham Panthers is still going strong. The campaign is at the half-way stage and mental and physical healthcare messages have been promoted to thousands of Panthers supporters at a number of games. Themes focused on so far include alcohol, smoking cessation, healthy eating, depression and general health promotion. Members of the public have been involved with a number of interactive activities on the Trust stand, one of which saw people taking taste tests to establish which foods have a higher fat content. A mother who participated said: “This is a very good idea. It makes you realise how much fat is in everyday food and it’s good to get kids thinking about being healthy because of how much fatty food there is around us.”
