Families

Food Is Fun is about encouraging school children of all ages to explore food in a fun way to promote healthy eating for their future. We believe that lots of good work has been done to improve the quality of food in schools recently, but unless food is perceived to be "tasty" children will not eat it, no matter how healthy it is. Also, in today's busy lifestyle food needs to be able to be prepared in a  cost-effective way, and be practical for families (parents or children).

 

In addition to our in-school events for children and teachers Food Is Fun will also create hands-on cooking lessons or demonstrations for parents, carers, childminders or families. Please contact us for details.
