Project: Food for Life Partnership
Purpose: To improve the quality of school food and improve understanding of nutrition and healthy eating
Funding: Mainly via local authority public health teams. Most recently the initiative won a Big Lottery Fund grant of £1.8m a year for two years to expand the approach to other settings including hospitals and nurseries
Background: Research carried out by the Soil Association in 2007 raised concerns about the quality of school food, low take up of school meals and children's understanding of food. The organisation went on to team up with three other charities - Garden Organic, Focus on Food and the Health Education Trust - to develop a holistic programme that would not only improve school meals but transform the whole school experience.
