The Really Good School Dinner 2011

For the third successive year the School Food Trust is running the Really Good School Dinner campaign.

Every day, around 14,400 children in the developing world die from hunger. This is an injustice that many young people in this country care deeply about. Through the Really Good School Dinner campaign children can learn about this issue and help.

In the previous two years more than 200,000 meals have been eaten by children in this country as part of the campaign, raising more than £21,000. That’s a total of more than 400,000 school meals eaten for the Really Good School Dinner by children here and in the developing world. The campaign helped provide meals for around 72,000 children in 148 schools in Haiti in January 2010 after the earthquake.

How it works

Choose a week in February to run your campaign and ask pupils to donate just ten pence extra for each school meal they have during the campaign week. Each 10p pays for a whole meal for a child in the developing world. It also helps the children to get an education; many children in developing countries simply can’t go to school unless a meal is provided there.
