The Heartbeat Award is a nationally recognised award supported by the Health Education Council and the Chartered institute of Environmental Health. It is given to caterers who demonstrate a commitment to customer care through the provision of a healthier environment and healthier food choices.

The award is also about offering customers choice and meeting customer demand. Many people are becoming more health conscious so it makes good sense to provide healthier food choices that can be enjoyed in a hygenic and smoke-free environment.

Founded in 1967, the Tea Council is an independent body dedicated to promoting tea and its unique story for the benefit of those who produce, sell, and enjoy tea the world over.

The Tea Council is a non-profit making organization funded by contributions from the tea producing countries and the UK Tea Trade.

The Tea Council pursues a policy of developing projects which seek to alter attitudes to tea and thus influence drinking habits and consumption trends in the UK. In so doing, it aims to provoke a re-appraisal of tea. It promotes the generic proposition that tea is natural, additive and calorie free, and an integral part of contemporary, healthy lifestyles.
