A great example of an ‘at arm’s length’ programme of equity response, focusing on ensuring children have access to at least one healthy meal a day. It is a robust example of a successful lobbying programme to tackle one of the most critical child development issues possible – nutrition.

We’re absolutely thrilled that we’ve been shortlisted for the Health Equity Award by the Royal Society for Public Health.This is a great honour and I want to say thank you on behalf of the Food Foundation, but also on behalf of the coalition of partners that we worked with alongside Marcus Rashford to deliver the End Child Food Poverty campaign.


Having recognition from the public health community for the work we have been doing to try and improve children’s diets makes a massive difference, not least in the context of the cost-of-living crisis because the situation is now becoming so severe for many families and our work is going to have to get more and more impactful as we go forward.
So thank you very much to the Royal Society for Public Health and we really look forward to the awards evening.

Anna Taylor, Executive Director, Food Foundation
