The Really Good School Dinner

24 Nov 2008

Together with the UN World Food Programme, the School Food Trust has created The Really Good School Dinner initiative, designed to demonstrate the value of a school meal not only in the UK but also in parts of the developing world.

During the last week of January 2009, the School Food Trust is asking pupils of all ages to have a school dinner and donate an extra 10p. All the money raised will be used by the UN World Food Programme to provide children in countries including Kenya, Cambodia and Guatemala with a school meal, often their only meal of the day.

The campaign will also help provide an education for many as evidence shows that many children, especially girls, are kept home if they are not being fed at school.

The Trust is in the process of contacting all schools, school councils, local authorities and caterers asking them to get on board and make this initiative the success it deserves to be.

Your school is strongly encouraged to register at Really Good School Dinner. You will then receive a campaign pack which contains posters, bucket wraps and information to help your school council promote The Really Good School Dinner to fellow pupils.

The School Food Trust will be updating the website in the run up to the week itself, including messages from our secret celebrity and from a head teacher in Nairobi who will explain exactly what this campaign means to them.
