Why Take Part?

There are a number of great reasons why local authorities, school caterers, foodservice contractors and schools should join together to take part in National School Meals Week 2010. These are just some of them:

  • You can add value to the service you are providing to schools by supporting a whole school approach to healthy eating.
  • You can add fun into your healthy eating menus.
  • More pupils and students staying for a school meal, the average increase last year was 7.8%.
  • Parents, teachers and Governors will have greater faith in the catering service provided and give the service more support.
  • It is a digital marketing campaign again and utilises the Internet and new media.
  • The week is free of charge and there are many downloads available.
  • There are lots of items to download that will enable you to run the week.

So make sure you register now.
