Go for 2&5 fruit and vegetable campaign
- The Go for 2&5 campaign ran in Western Australia from 2002 to 2012.
- Recipes and the A to Z of fruit and vegetables are available on this site.
Healthway currently sponsors community events and organisations in Western Australia to promote Go for 2&5. Visit the Healthway (external site) website for more information about sponsorships.
From 2006 to 2012 the campaign was delivered by the Cancer Council WA (external site) with funding from the Department of Health Western Australia. It also ran across Australia through other state and territory Departments of Health, the Australian Government and in partnership with the private sector through Horticulture Australia Limited.
The Go for 2&5 campaign aimed to:
- Increase awareness of the need to eat more fruit and vegetables.
- Encourage increased consumption of fruit and vegetables.
The campaign offered solutions to assist adults to eat more fruit and vegetables by providing information, tips and healthy, easy to prepare recipes. Promotional activities included television radio, press, outdoor and online advertising and information through retailers at point of sale.
Go for 2&5 posters, brochures and booklets, including Healthy Food Fast are out of print and no longer available.
