Thank you to our supporter Trudie Goodwin, (Sergeant June Ackland, The Bill) "I have two daughters, now in their early twenties, and have always believed that I brought them up on a healthy diet, never adding salt to their meals. Recently however I have been horrified to learn just how much salt is hidden in food I assumed was salt-free and how much is being consumed, unknowingly, by very young children. What has scared me most is that the food culprits are not necessarily the obvious ones and that it's still extremely difficult for an ordinary, caring parent to get clear and honest information on added, hidden salt. I therefore have no hesitation in supporting this campaign."

Thank you to all the health care professionals that collectively organised nearly 300 supporting events held nationally.
