Food Therapy Programme
Food Therapy Programme
For children who have been reliant on tube feeding due to their medical health can find it hard to move on to eating food in the more traditional way.
So, we are funding a brilliant programme to help these children and their families to make this transition.
The team of nutritionists and dieticians plan a programme of food to work through various textures and tastes, giving them the opportunity and skills to learn how to eat food, along with helping families to continue this work once they return home.
We are funding this as a continuation of a pilot therapy group we supported in 2023, but this time to a wider and younger age group, with the aim that being able to help younger children can speed up the process of moving away from tube feeding.
