FAMILIES have been learning the value of healthy living by taking part in a fun day.
More than 500 families attended the event, organised by Sunderland's Healthy Living Centre, and supported by staff from London Electricity's customer contact centre at Doxford Park.
It encouraged people to adopt a healthier lifestyle through a magic show with an anti-drugs message, a craft workshop, a puppet show, and a colouring competition with the theme of fruit and vegetables.
The Healthy Living Centre, where the day was held, was set up to improve the health and lifestyles of people in the Southwick area of Sunderland.
It is funded by the National Lottery Charities Board New Opportunities Fund, but also relies on private sector support. Among its current projects is a healthy eating initiative in Southwick's primary schools.
