About the Forum

Established in December 2008 to support the implementation of obesity policies in both Northern Ireland (NI) and Republic of Ireland (ROI), the Forum brings together a wide range of stakeholders from over 25 different organisations. Members come from both the areas of food and physical activity.  By facilitating the exchange of best practice and by promoting networking and collaboration, the Forum provides an ideal platform for partnership and cohesive working on the island of Ireland. 

All-island Obesity News

The All-island Obesity Action Forum launched its bi-monthly e-bulletin the All-island Obesity News in April 2009. It aims to support the work of the Forum by promoting the sharing of information and exchange of best practice.
