2020-2025
Here you'll find our plan over the next five years to build on our mission to teach children about food and to improve children’s access to healthy, sustainable food during their time at school.
About Us
Our mission is to teach children about food and to improve children’s access to healthy, sustainable food during their time at school.
We provide fully-funded food education programmes to schools. Our experience delivering these programmes informs and strengthens our campaigns, bringing the voices of children, parents and teachers to government policy.
School Food Matters is a registered charity number 1134094.
Our Story
School Food Matters was founded in 2007 by Stephanie Slater, a parent perplexed by the school food offered to her two small children; frozen food, unappealing and quite often unidentifiable.
Work With Us
This is where you'll find opportunities to work with us and we're always delighted to hear from enthusiastic volunteers!
Our Funding
In 2010 we made a commitment to move the charity from 100% grant dependency. Our two areas of work remain campaigning and food education but we have now moved to a more financially robust model with income coming from four sources.
Our 10th Birthday Picnic
In June 2017, we celebrated our 10th Birthday with a wonderful picnic for 500 children in the magical College Garden at Westminster Abbey.
