Apologies: None

Key discussions points and decisions: Everyone presented their research on Homelessness in their area. However Fernanda came up with some interesting information, she explained that she found a newspaper article which gave reference to the fact that the government is doing enough to help homeless people. Ieva Miskinyte-Kavaliauske, Lina Daubaraite and Maria Fernanda Carreira Drummond introduced a new idea that we should do another campaign on Paedophilia because it is an issue that is not really addressed. Everyone agreed to the idea. We talked about a campaign name and a logo to represent our organisation.

Verona Dyer suggested as the name of the campaign "Deliverance". Everyone agreed. We also came up with the idea that we would put the slogan of our campaign is name onto balloons and we would make flyers and then distribute it people. Giving them an insight to what our campaign is about and what we are fighting for. We have decided that we need to do more research to strengthen this idea. We decided that we will put all our research together to make a power point presentation. We plan to write to the NHS to find out what they are doing about the issue of Paedophilia.

Preparation for Next Week: Everyone must do the following in preparation for seminar meeting

• Get more information on Paedophilia.

Time: 6:00-6:30 pm

Present: Maria Fernanda Carreira Drummond, Verona Dyer, Daniel Thomas, Ieva Miskinyte-Kavaliauske, Lina Daubaraite

Apologies: Tanisha Harrison (health issues)

Key discussions points and decisions: Verona and Fernanda talked about some of the issues that they had discussed with climate change campaign leaders Tamsin and Debra. They explained that Tamisn and Debra listened to their views and give them advice on how to manage the healthy eating campaign. They suggested that as a group we should:

• Find out if there were any groups last year that did also did a Healthy eating campaign and find out how far they got.

• We need to make sure that we are organised and when making decisions

• We should interview staff and students.

• We should set a time frame and identify our problems.

• We should carry out research and then divide tasks among group members.

• We should meet the Middlesex board face to face and writer letters explaining what actions we should take.

• We should create questionnaires to people asking them what sort of food they would like in the canteen what improvements they would like to make to the menu.

• We should research how good nourishing food can help to stimulate the mind. This research will be very useful because we can use it to support any ideas that we have for our campaign.

We talked about ideas for our logos we thought that it would be a good idea to be really creative and use typography to make a drawing of a fruit. We also decided that if we were to conduct interviews or questionnaires we should make sure that our main focus is to ask Middlesex students what healthy foods they prefer to eat at the canteen.

Preparation for Next Week: Everyone must do the following in preparation for the seminar meeting:

• Bring research and any ideas that you have to the meeting so that we can discuss and change it.

Individual assignments:

Design logos and flyers that will capture out target audience and encourage them to eat healthy as well as giving them important facts as to why it is important to eat healthily.

Create questionnaires to gather research on the eating habits and opinions of students at Middlesex University.

Collect a number of sources and research them including videos and other large scale campaigns to see how they have achieved their aim.

Key discussions points and decisions: A speaker came to our seminar and introduced new ideas for the campaign. He encouraged us to talk directly to the canteen company because the staff had problems speaking with us.

She also suggested that we should get a nutritionist to examine the food at the canteen so that we can have scientific evidence, she also suggested that we should boycott and stop students from eating in the canteen until our demands are met.

· Bring research and the results to questionnaire to seminar meeting so that we can start making power point presentation and so that we can start writing to the company so that we can make our request.

Research

• Chartwells Theory:

1. Compromised with K-12 schools, Flik Independent Schools and Higher Education.
2. Its is a division of Compass group America.
3. Compass group North America is leader in foodservice management and support services.

They claim: "The combined resources behind our company help us offer your school an affordable range of innovative, nutritious dining and educational solutions."

• They provide customized solutions that benefit our partners through innovative programs.

We will check if it is the University who do the menu: Middlesex University or Chartwells?

We will go to the administration office to check if they can provide us any information.

Maybe students can be involved on helping.

"Chartwells is a dedicated customer - focused food provider. We are comitted to providing outstanding service at every level."

"Nourishing students is more than our business, whether you call it a mission..."

Chartwell selects charities to support for 2010

RNLI & Bath Neonatal Intensive Care Unit - Our chosen charities for the year 2010. The Bath NICU are raising funds to help build a pioneering holistic NICU that will be sustainable, larger and provide highly beneficial healing with a supportive environment for both the babies and parents. At Chartwell we feel this is a very worthwhile cause and as a result will be organising fund raising activities throughout the year to support the charity. Unusually for Chartwell we are supporting two charities in one year as we felt it too difficult to choose between the Bath NICU and the RNLI.

RNLI - The RNLI has over 40,000 volunteers who work on lifeboats, at stations, on beaches and in fundraising. The RNLI is a independent charity with a board of volunteer trustees and as a result they rely on Fundraising appeals and the support they receive from their members.

JUNK FOOD ( The main points why it is unhealthy)

· Junk foods (fast food) are cooked in fat grease that makes our stomachs go through processes that can hurt them in the long run.

· Sweets like donuts or even fruit Danishes are some other common foods that are tasty but not necessarily good for us.There are reasons why they are bad for your body and can leave you with problems in the long run. These problems are obesity or heart blood clots.

· Cholesterol is one bad thing when you get older and can cause you to have a heart attack. (When you have a high cholesterol level, you should know it' could be because of what you're eating.)

· When your body eats less-nutritious items, you will often notice a weight gain. The reason why junk food is bad for you is that it also can impact your life in different ways. The weight gain can leave you depressed and your self-confidence goes down.

· Obesity

· Diabete

· Cardiovascular disease

· Dental Caries

· Cancer

· Metabolic Sindrome

· ADHD (attention Deficit hyperactivity disorder).

· Depression/Affective Disorders

· Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases

· Osteoporosis
Every chronic disease is related to poor dietary choices. Schools should not be supporting poor health habits that cause major health problems by selling junk food.

Questionnaires

Handing the questionnaires out at the canteen would mean that our campaign would have some research done based on the opnion of the students. Our main target is to find out what the students like about the food and wheather or not they thought it was healthy. We also told the students what our campaign was about and many people thought it was a good idea and they wanted to support us.

Letter to Chartwells

To whom it may concern,

We are a group of students from Middlesex University who are running a campaign to encourage students to eat a healthy balanced meal at the university. We are aware that you are responsible for the cafeteria food we have here on campus and we would like to bring the following to your attention.

According to our research, majority of the students prefer to have a good cooked healthy meal severed at the canteen and the meals that you provide are average and not very satisfactory. Many students feel that they are paying too much for a meal that is of poor quality and therefore they result to eating snacked food at the canteen. As a result many students lack healthy balanced diet and this affects their well-being and learning. We would like to suggest that you put better tasting nutritious meals at the canteen, include more salad and vegetables in your dishes along with fruit and other healthy snacks.

Thank you for your consideration and please listen to our request.

Yours Sincerely,

Verona Dyer

Daniel Thomas
