There has never been a more important time to get involved, with LACA are focusing on ‘green issues’ as it coincides with COP27. LACA has been overwhelmed with the number of supporters that are getting involved with more people signing up every day.

Chair of LACA, Brad Pearce commented: “I would like everyone to get involved with this year’s theme ‘Together, we make a difference’.

“We know school meals have such a positive effect on children’s attainment and development, but school caterers are also making a huge impact on green issues, lessening their impact on the planet as together, we tackle environmental issues such as reducing food waste, reducing food miles and increasing the amount of plant based foods children eat.”

The five themed events include:

• Together, we make a difference launch – A fun NSMW 2022 launch day promoting your activities for the week

• Go green lunch – A day to showcase plant based menus and what you are doing to get children to engage and eat more.
• Our local lunch – A roast dinner day showcasing the best of local British produce, reducing food miles.
• Eat more, waste less – A day to educate children on reducing food waste, recycling and composting. Can you create a low energy lunch?
• VIP Day – Whether you are inviting a VIP or local MP for lunch or just saying thank you to your staff a day of celebrating. All school caterers re VIPs.
