eating well

 

Eating well is something we all know we need to do, but it's often easier said than done. When you're used to reaching for the sugar, salt, and refined carbs, it's hard to challenge those cravings with healthier alternatives. 

In this section, it's time to explore how what we consume can really make a difference to our wellbeing. We'll also see how making simple changes can lead to healthier habits and make it easier for you to stick to those habits going forwards. 

If you've been advised to eat healthier by your doctor and you're feeling intimidated, or you just want to make healthier decisions when it comes to food, this section has everything you need to get started.

Are your services means-tested?

If you need financial support, we carry out a means test where we consider income, expenditure, capital and assets.  

*Please note none of our other services are means-tested. 

I’m an accountant, but not a member of ICAEW, can you still help?

Unfortunately not. We only support past and present ICAEW members, their carers and their families. If we are unable to support you, where possible we will point you to help elsewhere.

caba has supported me in the past; can I receive support from caba again?

We understand that circumstances change. If we’ve helped you in the past there’s no reason why we can’t help you again. You can contact us at any time. Please call us if you need our help.
