To celebrate #HealthyEatingWeek, one of our leading nutritionists Olivia Haverson spoke to #BBCRadioSussex about how to engage children on healthy food. Whilst Olivia's confident delivering workshops to hundreds of children, this was very much a step outside her comfort zone, and we think she absolutely nailed it. But don't take our word for it, check out the segment below. (BBC Radio Sussex 13 Jun 2024 – 1:08:50 to 1:16:10)

Tackling climate change is a responsibility all businesses must face into. Everyone at Chartwells, led by our sustainability gurus Meg Longworth and Olivia Pratt (RNutr), with support from Carolyn Ball 🌍🍴💚, continually strive to be a force for good in the education sector. Together, we are committed to educating students and pupils, giving them the right tools to make informed decisions that are better for them, and our planet; while also showing best practice through food waste reduction programmes and evolving our menus to reduce carbon. Last night, these efforts were recognised at the Footprint Awards, where we took home the Sustainability in Education Award. Thanks to Charles Miers, Nick Fenwicke-Clennell, Amy Fetzer, Nick Hughes and the team for the sterling work you do driving the sustainable agenda in our sector. We are fired up to continue innovating and driving change, working collaboratively to reach net-zero emissions by 2030.

Did you know that 94% of children in the Independent sector would like a healthy and balanced diet, but this number falls to 67% in the State sector? The Chartwells 2024 Report, Fuelling Young Minds, explores the socio-economic barriers to children’s appetite for a healthy, balanced diet. Our findings show the importance of engaging children early and empowering them to make better choices when it comes to food and nutrition.
