National charity Diabetes UK is calling people across Swindon to sign up to a month of healthier eating.

The charity is holding the first ever 'FakeAway Feb' asking people people to swap processed foods for healthier, home cooked meals throughout next month to raise vital funds for diabetes research.

Phaedra Perry, Regional Head Diabetes UK South West, said: “This February, keep up the new year motivation with Diabetes UK’s first ever FakeAway Feb. By signing up, you’ll commit to a month where you ditch the takeaways in favour of delicious home-cooked alternatives.

“FakeAway Feb is a fantastic opportunity to discover new recipes, connect with our community, and save some pennies – all while raising money for vital diabetes research.

“If you’re living in Swindon, sign up to FakeAway Feb today, and kickstart your journey to a healthier you.”

Those who sign up will be part of an online community and have access to the FakeAway Feb Toolkit where a free meal planner can be downloaded. Those who raise over £35 by the end of February,will receive a Diabetes UK wooden spoon.
