We’re proud to work with local growers to bring fresh, locally sourced produce straight into school kitchens.
It means children get fresh food on their plates, schools can support local producers, and we can help shorten the journey from field to fork 🍽️

A day in the life of Megan and Kerry 🍓🍓
Supporting local shops on Lodge Lane for fresh okra ahead of one of our Ethiopian Okra and Salmon Stew cookery lessons 👨🍳👩🍳
We had a lovely little gardening session with Monksdown Reception.
The children got outdoors, explored the garden and had a great time spotting bugs and learning more about the little creatures living around us.
A simple session to get curious about nature around them 🌍🪲🐌
A few weeks on… have we recovered from chopping 180 portions of onion yet?
Absolutely not. The tears still feel fresh 😭🧅
All in the name of another busy week of cookery coaching with Food For Thought 🍓
Some fantastic photos and videos from Apple Day at Speke Hall earlier this month 🍏🍎
Apple Day is all about bringing communities together to harvest, cook and share apples from the orchard that would otherwise go to waste.
Great to see our Kit Grant making a real difference at @PleasantStPrim
A huge well done to everyone involved. We love seeing our grants supporting children to get active, take part and feel proud representing their school. 🏃🏃♀️

💚 Supporting children to feel calm, safe and ready to learn.
Through the Mike Carden Health & Wellbeing Grant, schools have created sensory spaces and introduced resources that help pupils regulate their emotions, improve focus and build confidence.
From forest school sessions to growing spaces and wellbeing projects, the Mike Carden Health & Wellbeing Grant (Established in memory of Food For Thought founder, Mike Carden) continues to create opportunities that make a real difference.

The KS1 pupils loved making s'mores in their Forest School space, which benefited from Health & Wellbeing Grant funding 🔥👏
(see all our active grants and competitions here foodforthoughtschools.co.uk/… )
💚 One of the biggest impacts of the Mike Carden Health & Wellbeing Grant has been on emotional wellbeing and self-regulation.
From sensory rooms and regulation resources, these give children the tools they need to feel safe, settled and ready to learn.

Nearly there.
This time next month, 500,000+ more pupils in families on Universal Credit will be back to learning with a hot, healthy school dinner 👏
That’s major - but thousands will still miss out.
Let's set the table for every child in primary school ➡️ deliverthedinners.org.uk/?ut…
ALT 1 MONTH — graphic counting down to when school dinners will be served for 500,000+ more children, overlaid on a yellow school lunch tray with pasta, broccoli and an apple and a red banner asking "WHO IS STILL MISSING OUT?"
Eight of Liverpool's parks and green spaces have been awarded the prestigious @greenflagaward, including Everton Nature Garden, where we're proud to help children learn, grow and connect with nature.
A huge thank you to @lpoolcitycouncil and everyone involved! 👏
