Healthy Start at Bury Market

Stall holders on the famous Bury Market are now taking Healthy Start cards, helping visitors to provide their families with nutritious and affordable food.

The NHS Healthy Start scheme is for eligible people who are pregnant or have children under the age of 4, offering help towards milk, fruit, vegetables, pulses and formula.

Healthy Start cards can now be used on Bury Market at Ward’s Fruit & Veg, Iddon’s Fruit & Veg and Tom’s Bargain Corner.

Healthy Start at Bury Market is administered locally by Bury Food Partnership, following a successful funding application to Sustainable Food Places.
