this) Who are they aiming it at and why?
Has the campaign had an effect on local people in our community? Do people recognize it,
where have they seen / heard it, what stands out, what do they remember, have they
changed eating habits because of it? (complete a class survey)

health and well-being? Explain how / why (what improvements to health are they aiming
