I was lucky enough to never go hungry as I received free school meals (and daily milk!) throughout primary school, as a child in a low income one-parent family. Fast forward 40+ years and I work in Nutrition for the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine. That’s why I’m supporting the Children’s Alliance campaign “Health of the Next Generation – Good Food for Children”. It is time all children and young people in the UK received a nutritious school meal”

Place your picture with an apple! State:
🍎 I am holding this Apple as a sign of what is missing from children’s hands across the UK in schools everyday. Children and young people need a nutritious free school meal to enable them to learn. The coalition of Public Health and Medical associations as experts are calling for Universal Free School Meals for all primary and secondary school children.
