No child should go hungry at school! A new report highlights that nearly half a million children in poverty are missing out on free school meals due to admin barriers, language difficulties, or social stigma. Nathan Atkinson comments: “At Rethink Food, we fully support automatic enrolment - no child should have to go without a nutritious meal because of paperwork. Ensuring access to food is key to a healthier, more equitable future. We urge policymakers to act NOW to implement these recommendations and support families and schools alike.” Read more here https://lnkd.in/efku2x3K #HealthyPeopleHealthyPlanet #FoodSecurity #NoChildGoesHungry

Last week, Travis spent his half-term volunteering at Rethink Food HQ instead of staying home on the Xbox - and he absolutely smashed it! He rolled up his sleeves, got stuck in, and didn’t complain once. His hard work and positive attitude made a real impact, and we’re so grateful for his support. Travis is now gearing up for the next chapter, pursuing a career as an HGV technician, and we know he’s got a bright future ahead! If you’d like to volunteer and make a difference like Travis, get in touch - we’d love to have you on board!

The latest Broken Plate report from The Food Foundation highlights the stark reality of food inequality in the UK. With healthier food often priced out of reach and ultra-processed options dominating, families are facing significant barriers to maintaining a nutritious diet. At Rethink Food, we believe that access to healthy food is a right, not a privilege. But accessibility alone isn’t enough - people also need the skills and facilities to turn nutritious ingredients into tasty, appealing meals. As Nathan Atkinson puts it: “Healthy food should be universally accessible and affordable. It is also essential that people have the skills and facilities to use the food to create tasty and appealing meals. High quality food education from a young age is essential in establishing these skills. Early intervention is key.” Through our programmes, we’re working to equip young people with the knowledge and confidence to make healthy choices - because food education is just as vital as food itself. Let’s work together to rethink food and build a healthier, more sustainable future. #HealthyPeopleHealthyPlanet #FoodEducation #RethinkFood #FoodInequality #TheBrokenPlate

Happy World Pulses Day 2025! This year’s theme highlights the power of pulses in enhancing diversity within agrifood systems and we couldn’t agree more! From chickpeas to lentils, beans to peas, pulses play a vital role in sustainable food production, soil health, and global nutrition. At Rethink Food, we champion a future where healthy people and a healthy planet go hand in hand. Pulses are a powerhouse of nutrition and a key player in creating resilient, agroecological food systems. By incorporating more pulses into our diets, we can reduce food waste, support biodiversity, and promote food security for all. Join us in celebrating pulses today! What’s your favourite way to enjoy them? Share your pulse-powered meals below! ⬇️ #WorldPulsesDay #HealthyPeopleHealthyPlanet #Agroecology #FoodDiversity

It’s Children’s Mental Health Week (3-9 Feb 2025). At Rethink Food, we’re proud to support Place2Be’s campaign to help children "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself" – empowering them to build self-awareness, resilience, and confidence. Our Values Themed Assemblies explore essential qualities like Hope, Kindness, Self-Control, Resilience, and Thankfulness – helping children understand their emotions, their impact on others, and their power to make a difference. When children know themselves, they can grow into confident, resilient individuals.
