Rejected petition Every Child Deserves a Healthy Start – And the Skills to Stay Healthy.
A hungry child can’t focus on learning. Free breakfasts for all remove stigma, support families, and ensure no one is left out.
But feeding children isn’t enough — we must also teach them to feed themselves.
More details
Cooking is a vital life skill. It boosts confidence, encourages healthy choices, and supports learning in subjects like science and maths. It prepares children for adulthood in a practical, lasting way.
Let’s give every child the best start to their day — and the skills to look after their future.
Fuel their minds. Nourish their potential.
