Mission Statement
The Fish Foundation's role is to increase awareness of the health benefits arising from
higher consumption of the long chain omega-3 polyunsaturates derived from fish . It will
do this by, among other things, acting as a source of expert information available to
media personnel, manufacturers, retailers and health professionals; by production and wide
distribution of leaflets, brochures, posters etc, and by seeking to influence the key
decision makers in nutrition policy, menu planning and meal presentation.
April 2001
After a period of ten years, the Fish Foundation has to scaled down operations with
effect from April 30th 2001. This unfortunately means there are no further
free supplies of leaflets or posters available. Finding finance for a generic campaign such as this
has proved increasingly difficult. Grateful thanks are due to those companies
and organisations that have provided financial support in the past.
July 2002
Requests for further supplies of leaflets and
posters have continued to come in, to such an extent that it has been decided to
make available further copies of leaflets and
posters on a self-financing basis. This process is now complete, and supplies
are available, on a cost price charge basis. Send an e-mail to rayrice@fish-foundation.org.uk
for the details of costs and order procedures
etc,
The
website will continue for the time being.
