Back to school with Cardiff FOOD Club

3 October 2024

A wonderful way to give back to the school community. This was really helpful!

Thanks to funding from Food Cardiff, Cardiff FOOD Club was able to run an educational back to school activity alongside their usual Tuesday club, focusing on healthy packed lunches for children.

Families enjoyed a range of fun foodie activities at the Cardiff FOOD Club. Children were given a range of eco friendly items, including lunch bags made from recycled plastics and reusable water bottles. They enjoyed a chance to try a range of tasty, healthy snacks such as easy peelers and small peppers, and everyone took home some wonderful recipe ideas for low cost healthy packed lunch items.

Families were invited to take home different food items and create some healthy packed lunch snacks themselves. Tuna and cucumber bagels were a particular hit! Parents were also signposted to Family Action’s fantastic range of online back to school resources.

 

A big FOOD Club thank you!

A huge thanks to Food Cardiff for making the event possible. Thanks to our lovely corporate fundraising colleagues, we were also able to provide additional back to school goody bags (including pens, notepads and calculators) which were donated by a corporate supporter.

Great idea! Resources are really helpful and food to take home too…

My girls will be loving their new items and will help start a good conversation about healthy foods - thanks!

Absolutely love Food club… helps my kids a lot!
