100k children reached by chefs in schools

Before we can blink, another school year has gone by, and it’s time for us to say an enormous thank you to everyone who’s played a part in another successful year for Chefs in Schools. Our work is now reaching more than 100,000 children nationally. That’s enough children reached to more than line the entire London Marathon course. This incredible milestone has been reached by nearly doubling in one year the previous five all added together. At this pace of growth, nearly every single school child in England could be reached by a Chefs in Schools programme by 2030.

All of this is only possible, because of people like you, staff members, teachers, chefs, funders and advocates, who care deeply about our mission and are determined to tackle a deep-rooted issue. Tackling the way that children everywhere access and understand food will fundamentally change their lives and a broken system for the better. Passing on a love and passion for delicious nutritious food, and the skills to make and eat it, will turn that system on its head. 

In a year in which the UK has been hit with many political and economic challenges, our charity has weathered the storms and managed to double the number of children we’ve reached. That is only because of the support and effort of so many incredible people. From the smallest action of liking a post, to reaching out to work with us, to giving your all as a team member or your precious free time to support us, we are able to showcase the impact of valuing food as an education.

Kids are our future, let’s feed them like it.
