This will help build excitement and empower parents and carers to maximise the lasting effect – getting their kids eating more veg.
Assembly
Why not kick-off the programme in your schools with an assembly? We have an assembly, with PowerPoint and video.

Our campaign is about everyone coming together – parents, carers, catering teams, schools, local government, nutritionists etc. – to help get our kids eating more veg. Social media is where that community meets to support and inspire each other.
