Launch of A New Meal Deal Campaign Roundtable
School meals are an essential public service that support children and families, tackle poverty, address public health issues and improve educational attainment. Despite this, the service is operating under unprecedented pressure, with rising demand, increasing costs and insufficient investment threatening its long-term sustainability.
APSE and The School Food People's latest campaign briefing, 'A New Meal Deal' explores the state of local authority, school-led services and smaller specialist caterers, the pressures they are facing and calls for greater investment to sustain and strengthen this vital service.
Join APSE and The School Food People on Monday 9 November for a roundtable discussion exploring the key findings and recommendations from the briefing. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss potential solutions and share experiences with peers from across the sector, helping to shape the future of school meal provision and ensure services can continue to meet growing demand.
