Further Information about this Event

25th - 29th January sees everyone at St. Francis of Assisi taking part in the Really Good School Dinner campaign. .....

  

Really Good School Dinnerhelps schools promote healthy eating

 

St Francis ofAssisi is going to participate in the Really Good School Dinner, which helps children both here and in some of the world’s poorest countries. This unique campaign, led by the School Food Trust in partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), has re-launched for January 2010.

 

Benefiting everyone involved, the Really Good School Dinner:

 

1)     Encourages more pupils to try school food, which is now governed by nutrition-based standards, so contributes towards a healthy diet

2)     Provides a focused opportunity over five consecutive days (25 – 29 January 2010) to encourage children to eat healthily

3)     Raises money for the WFP to give children in  the world’s poorest countries a school meal and, often by consequence, an education. Many such children can’t go to school because they have to work to feed themselves, so this helps them have an education too

 

Pupils donate just 10p extra for each school lunch they have during the campaign week. That 10p is enough to buy a whole meal for a child in the developing world, through the WFP’s School Meals Programme.

 

As the world's largest humanitarian aid agency, the World Food Programme provides school meals for 22 million children in some 70 countries. It relies entirely on donations to continue its vital work.

 

Whether you usually buy school meals or not, please consider participating in January…. 

Help to make a difference.
