Nursery World - Make a meal of it

I have been asked by the Local Authority Caterers Association (LACA) to be an ambassador for its National Schools Meals Week (NSMW). This is the biggest national healthy eating awareness week about school meals in Britain. This year it takes place on 5-9 November and encourages everyone to 'get involved' in preparing healthy school dinners.

This has taken place since 1993 and is organised by LACA. The week encourages pupils in nursery schools and primary schools, and students in secondary schools, academies and colleges to have a healthy school meal that meets the nutrient standards laid down by the respective national body or Government.

In my role as ambassador I have been asked to promote the event to encourage people to get involved and I am hoping you can help me spread the word.

GOOD HABITS START YOUNG

I was very interested in becoming an ambassador for National School Meals Week as I am keen on ensuring that children gain an awareness of healthy eating. I think it is important to start this from a young age and strongly believe there is an important opportunity to promote this through events like National Schools Meals Week.
