Food For Life
" It is great to see Food for Life helping schools explore the links between a healthy balanced diet and good mental health. Making these vital connections when we are young sets us up for a happier healthier life."Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Food for Life Served Here
Food and Mood Ask an Expert film
As part of our Food and Mood project, we asked children how they wanted to learn about what they eat and their mental health and wellbeing. Their response? Role models and experts. To answer all their burning questions, we created a ten-minute video featuring a range of carefully selected specialists, experts, celebrities, and role models.
Jamie Oliver's Kitchen Garden Project
We're delighted to let you know that we've formally teamed up with Jamie Oliver's Kitchen Garden Project to give all Food for Life schools and nurseries exclusive access to their beautiful food education resources.
The partnership means that the Kitchen Garden Project digital resources will be available to all schools who sign up to the Food for Life Membership or Awards Packages.
The resources include delicious Jamie Oliver recipes for children, lesson plans, helpful teaching notes, growing units, curriculum-linked activities and nutrition information, all tailored to primary school-level cooking lessons and activities for garden-based learning.
