The School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme delivers snacks to 2.3 million of the youngest primary school children in England.

Funded by the government, giving them 1 of their 5-a-day at morning break time. This is fabulous for these kids. They can concentrate better in class as their tummies aren’t rumbling.
We could make it even bigger and expand to their older siblings and the rest of the school. Helping to protect the most vulnerable and offering increased nutritional benefits to all.
The scheme is currently using 30-40% British produce and importing the rest.
We could make it even better for the environment, raise quality and help British farmers, by sourcing more locally and seasonally.
Dental advice from Public Health England is to keep dried fruits to mealtimes to lower the risk of tooth decay.
We could make it even better by swapping the dried fruit for fresh tooth-friendly veg. We could use this opportunity to ensure that the snacks which our children are eating at school are dentally healthy as well as nutritious.
Our petition is calling on ministers to make these positive changes. Sign & share today. Spread the word. Be part of the change.

Tooth extraction as a result of dental decay is the most common reason for hospital admissions in 5-9 year olds.

The majority of children miss at least two school days for hospital appointments and recovery, because of this usually preventable disease.
