A big thank you to everyone who got involved in National School Meals Week 2025
A big thank you to everyone who took part in NSMW25, it was great to see so many schools and caterers getting involved. We know running special events at lunchtime is the perfect way to get more children eating hot healthy meals regularly.
It was brilliant to see the events up and down the country. Please check the socials using the details below for a round up of the week. We will be posting and sharing more great events over the next few weeks.
We will also be doing a round up for various publications and completing the 2025 gallery, so if you would like to be involved please send your stories and photos to admin@theschoolfoodpeople.co.uk
If you didn’t get chance to take part in NSMW25, there is still time! the resources are available on the website, so you can create your own week.
The date for NSMW26 will be announced in the coming weeks, please keep checking back here and following the socials.
