Name: CanTeam
Provider: Future Foundations
Summary: Project supports young volunteers to organise and run food schemes for local communities.
Youth organisation Future Foundations has ambitious plans to establish CanTeam projects in more locations than McDonald’s has fast food outlets by the end of the decade. But unlike the international fast-food chain, CanTeam has sustainability and nutrition at its core.
CanTeam is an after-school dining initiative co-designed with young people that encourages families to eat nutritious food together.
The first pilot was launched in May 2023 at Sunnyhill Primary School in Lambeth and, since then, Townley Grammar School in Hackney has got involved and Ark Burlington Danes and King Solomon Academy has had an extended pilot of the programme, including 20 student volunteers and nearly 900 attendees.
