Our Food in Schools Working Group advocates for better school food and food education by carrying out research, generating new ideas, and delivering a wide range of impactful projects.
Are you working, or interested, in Devon’s school food?
We welcome new members. We are particularly keen to hear from school caterers, school chefs, school budget managers and catering providers. We want to understand the barriers you face and work together to improve food in schools.
What is the time commitment to take part in the group?
We meet every two months, online, every third Wednesday from 2-3.30pm.
