By introducing a voluntary sugar levy on sugary drinks you are dissuading people from consuming them. You are also helping to raise much-needed funds for programmes and schemes to improve children’s health and food education. Introducing the levy is straightforward and you will be joining hundreds of other restaurants and cafes around the country who have already successfully introduced a levy.
