Quorn and SIPS Catering celebrate NSMW across West Midlands
Led by Quorn senior home economist, Kate Snow, staff and pupils will participate in cookery demonstrations, tastings, and educational talks that promote the health benefits of Quorn for both the body and planet.
As such, both Temple Meadow and Crocketts Community Primary School will go meat-free for one day, saving ‘enough carbon per day to fly from Birmingham to Paris 16 times’ between them.
Additional catering activities will coincide with the launch of SIPS Catering’s autumn/winter menu and its new ‘Meat Free Mondays’ initiative, which will roll out to a portfolio of schools across the county.
Head of foodservice at Quorn, Phil Thornborrow, said: “There are a host of benefits to be gained from offering meat-free options on school menus. We (Quorn) can’t wait to share the message of Sustainable Nutrition with pupils this National School Meals Week – there’s never been a better time to make positive changes for our health and for the planet”.
It is also offering pupils the chance to win £500 worth of sports equipment for their school, as part of Quorn’s on-going ‘Create Your Own Superhero’ campaign. To get involved, they must submit a drawing of their own superhero to the Quorn Foodservice website by 21 December.
Participating schools include: Temple Meadow Primary School, Old Hill Primary School, Crocketts Community Primary School, and Jubilee Park School.
