Healthy eating

Advice on healthy eating for all age groups, accessing free and low-cost food, and support for eating disorders.

Food and Fun holiday programme

Our school holiday activity and food programme is for children aged 4 to 16 on benefits-related free school meals.

It runs during the Easter, summer and winter school holidays. The next programme runs from 23 December 2024 to 3 January 2025.

Watch our film about what families and children thought of the summer food and fun programme.

Each programme will provide:

  • free, nutritious and tasty food
  • fun physical activity sessions
  • a wide range of other exciting activities to suit different ages and personalities
  • opportunities to learn more about food and nutrition for children and their families

“I found that the food was a great help. One less thing to think about.”

Southwark parent

“It’s nice to just sit down whilst having food and talking to each other because you get to bond together.”

Southwark young person

All programmes are delivered in line with government health protection guidance to keep young people safe.

The food and fun programme is funded by the Department for Education.
