🍎 Helping children and young people enjoy healthier food
Giving children the chance to try fresh fruit and veg, learn where their food comes from and get involved in cooking and growing can help build healthy habits and skills that last.
That’s why the Tesco Fruit & Veg Grant is such a great opportunity for local organisations. Grants of up to £1,500 are available to support projects working with children and young people, including young people with SEND up to the age of 25. 💚
And despite the name, it doesn’t have to be all about fruit and veg! Funding could help provide healthy snacks, cooking sessions, food-growing activities, nutrition education, outdoor learning, holiday programmes and wellbeing activities.
📍 We’re particularly keen to hear from organisations in Cannock, Coventry, Walsall, Solihull, Stoke, Uttoxeter, Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, Tenbury Wells, Shipston-on-Stour, Ledbury, Stourbridge and Redditch.
At least 50% of the project must support healthy food provision, and projects should be delivered within six months.
🌱 Could this help you introduce more healthy food into the activities you already deliver?

Please share or tag a local school, charity or community group that could benefit! 👇
