Over 2,000 schools set to take part in Healthy Eating Week 

Over 2,000 schools have registered to take part in the British Nutrition Foundation’s (BNF) Healthy Eating Week 2018 (11 – 15 June 2018), with many more expected to register over the coming weeks.

BNF Healthy Eating Week aims to increase knowledge about healthy eating and wellbeing, physical activity, food provenance and cooking. 

It does this by providing schools and organisations with a series of challenges to complete throughout the week, supported by activities and informative resources. 

The Week will follow five ‘healthy eating’ themes: Have Breakfast, 5 A DAY, Drink Plenty, Get Active and Make A Change. 

BNF Healthy Eating Week registration packs are tailored for nursery, primary, secondary and adult age groups.

Roy Ballam, Managing Director and Head of Education at the British Nutrition Foundation, said: “From young children, to high-flying professionals, BNF Healthy Eating Week provides people of all ages with a fantastic opportunity to learn more about healthy eating, and the small daily changes we can all make to improve our health and wellbeing. Participants are encouraged to complete a series of challenges during the week in June, however, this year our materials have been designed especially so that the initiative can be continued all year round.”
