Maggie Beer Foundation Partners with RDNS

The Maggie Beer Foundation has partnered with RDNS (Royal District Nursing Service) to help foster the healthy food message through the organisation’s home nursing and people support network.

The partnership initiative has been described by RDNS executive general manager Dan Woods as a “very exciting initiative that has the potential to benefit tens of thousands of people”.

“This is what could arguably be called the perfect fit,” said Mr Woods. “The Maggie Beer Foundation philosophy is aligned with ours in so many ways – we are both championing healthy lifestyles for our Australians wherever they may be and irrespective of age group.”

RDNS is Australia’s oldest and largest home care and aged care provider – and delivers nursing and home care support services across the continent and in New Zealand.

“RDNS supports more than 100,000 Australians around the country,” Mr Woods said. “It is a fantastic notion that we can encourage our clients and the people we support as well as community groups with whom we come in touch to keep good nutrition top of mind.”

RDNS will deliver nourishment and nutritional educations sessions – all of which will be supported by the Maggie Beer Foundation – to communities throughout Australia. Activity centres, retirement villages and community centres will be among the venues for these sessions.

The Maggie Beer Foundation has agreed to support the RDNS nourishment and nutrition sessions both throughout the trial period which extends to the end of the year – and then as part of the national rollout commencing February 2016.
