A message posted on the charity's website today (21 July) states, '[It is] with great sadness the Children's Food Trust has announced it is to close. The Trust can reflect on a fantastic legacy having made a genuine and positive contribution to improve children's health and well-being in the UK'

linda-cregan Chief executive of the Children’s Food Trust, Linda Cregan, explains, 'Given the political and economic climate all charities are facing difficulties and we are no different. We remain passionate and dedicated to improving child health but it has proved impossible to continue to deliver our services and extremely reluctantly the Trustees have chosen to close the Trust. It is our priority at this point to speak to all our funders and partners to ensure a smooth transition and a positive legacy.'
