Original site content

Healthy Start support made visible

The original Leeds FAN advice section links families to Healthy Start information. This redesign keeps that pathway but presents it with a clearer visual cue and shorter text for scanning.

Why advice appears beside food support

The redesign treats food need as part of a wider support journey, helping users move from immediate food aid toward longer-term stability.
