Great to see our Kit Grant making a real difference at Pleasant Street Primary School.

The school recently used the funding to purchase new cross country kits, and they certainly put them to good use at their first race, coming away with an amazing 1st and 3rd place.

A huge well done to everyone involved. We love seeing our grants supporting children to get active, take part and feel proud representing their school. 🏃🏃‍♀️

The most boring photo - but some hugely exciting progress. This is just our 2nd growing season and this week we have harvested: celery & cabbage for Liverpool primary schools; our first cauliflowers to the University of Manchester; a range of fresh produce including squash & beetroot to food access project Queen of Greens; squash and leeks to Community Cafe & Shop: Squash; a van load of fresh organic produce for Manchester' Unicorn Grocery, as well as kale, rainbow chard & celeriac to our sister organisation Veg Box People.

Today was all about food, culture, creativity and trying something new!

We cooked a delicious Jamaican Ital stew, packed with fresh vegetables, vibrant flavours and plenty of chopping!

But what exactly is Ital? Ital cooking comes from the Rastafari tradition and focuses on natural, plant-based, minimally processed foods. From learning about the cultural roots behind the dish to experimenting with new flavour profiles, our students got stuck in and embraced the challenge of cooking something different.

A fantastic day of food, culture, history and learning through cooking 🍓

Healthy learning can still be fun

One of our favourite bits of feedback from school's is simply seeing how happy the children were.

They worked together, sat together, completed wellbeing activities and learnt about healthy snacks while enjoying themselves.

That matters.

Food education doesn’t need to feel worthy or preachy.

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all school.

So why would we offer a one-size-fits-all programme?

Some schools come to us wanting cookery sessions. Others need help with growing, funding, curriculum work, pupil voice or involving families.

Our role is to meet schools where they are and help them build a Good Food Culture that works for their pupils, priorities and community.

It starts with a conversation.

We’ve had 2,000 competition entries this year.

Competitions might seem like the fun bit, and they are, but they also give children another way to engage with food education.

They get pupils thinking, creating, talking and taking part.

And if learning feels enjoyable, there’s a much better chance children will remember it.

This year, Food For Thought awarded £77,000 in grants to schools.

That funding helps turn ideas into something real, whether that’s improving food education, buying essential equipment or creating opportunities that schools might otherwise struggle to fund.

A grant isn’t just about the money. It’s about what happens afterwards.

More opportunities. Better resources. More children getting involved.

This is 23,825 pupils. This is the amount of children we reached in 25/26.

Behind that number are thousands of opportunities for children to cook, grow, taste, learn, ask questions and build confidence around food.

For us, Good Food Culture isn’t just about what’s served at lunchtime. It’s about helping children build the knowledge, skills and experiences that can stay with them for life.
