  • Since 2017, Food for Life, in partnership with Walsall Council, has been driving a powerful food transformation across the borough. With Walsall facing challegnes around cost of living and access to healthy food, the council recognised that real change requires a joined-up approach to the whole food system. 

  • For over a decade, BaxterStorey has partnered with Food for Life Served Here (FFLSH) to transform the way sustainable and nutritious food is served across the UK. Now, with the launch of a bold new five-year sustainability and nutrition strategy, BaxterStorey is setting its sights even higher: aiming to achieve Food for Life Served Here certification across all 1000 of its UK locations, as part of a trailblazing approach to serving healthier, more sustainable meals to the 1 million people they feed each day.

  • Whilst growing our own fruit and veg is a great way to eat more minimally processed foods, ultra-processed foods still dominate our diets. British people eat more ultra-processed foods (UPFs) than anyone else in Europe: they make up 65% of our children’s diets and over 50% of our shopping baskets.

Recently, the Food for Life Lancashire team delivered training on ultra-processed and minimally processed foods to 22 teachers, who will go on to share their new skills with pupils, colleagues and the wider school community.

  • Over the past year our expert training team have collaborated closely with two primary schools in Hull, with funding from The Joseph and Annie Cattle Trust, to codesign a bespoke framework for primary schools to deliver curriculum activities with a focus on wellbeing, enjoying nature and eating for good health.
