BNF urges more schools to join Snack-tember initiative

16 Jun 2025
The British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) has had almost 2,000 registrations for Snack-tember 2025; a nationwide initiative launching this September to ‘inspire’ healthier and more sustainable snacking habits amongst children and young people.

With just three months to go, the BNF is calling on more schools to sign-up and get involved in the free initiative to promote healthier snack choices at school and at home. The initiative offers free resources that are tailored for both primary and secondary schoolchildren.

Throughout September, participating schools will have access to activity ideas, posters, recipes as well as guidance for parents/carers and school caterers around snacks. All of the resources have been created with the aim of sparking meaningful conversations about the role of snacks in a healthy and balanced diet.

Claire Theobald, education services manager of the BNF, said: “We are thrilled to have almost 2,000 registrations for Snack-tember 2025. This demonstrates a strong appetite from educators to engage children in learning about healthier, more sustainable snack options. By building knowledge and practical skills early, we can help shape positive eating habits that last a lifetime.”

Schools can register for free at nutrition.org.uk/snack-tember-2025, where they will gain access to all the resources before the summer holidays 2025.
