Dr Chris Fenn provided nutritional consultancy input in the early days.

In addition we have an Expert Panel. The Expert Panel helps to look at how to incorporate research and learning from other areas into the programme.

​The panel includes  Dr. Rachel Crockett  
and Professor Kate Hunt

 We received some funding from the National Lottery to pilot the Ayecan Change programme and some of the ideas behind it and are now looking to how to build on lessons from that.

First Port provided some start up support.

Professor Bill Buchanan  OBE Napier University gave time and support in the early stages.
Dr Stephan Dombrowski contributed to the expert panel before heading to pastures new.
