We’re delighted to announce our 5-year partnership with School Food Matters, awarding £500,000 towards their Healthy Zones programme. This initiative supports schools in creating a food environment that priortises young people's health. 🍎   Recently, The Duke and Duchess visited a school in Westminster supported by School Food Matters. The visit included joining the students for breakfast club, participating in an allotment tour where children learn about the origins of their food, and attending a cooking session with nursery students. All these initiatives have contributed to a healthy food environment at the heart of the school.
