LACA releases Great School Lunch event video recap
28 May 2025
LACA, the school food people, has released a two minute video recap of the recent Great School Lunch event that called on the Government to act now to increase free school meals funding.
Over 50 MPs also attended the event to talk with LACA representatives and school caterers about the importance and challenges of providing school meals. Stephen Morgan, the Labour MP for Portsmouth South and Minister for Early Education, attended the event.
During the event, LACA noted that free school meals funding should be increased to at least £3.16 per meal to prevent further job losses, protect food quality and ensure every child continues to receive a hot, healthy school lunch.
The chance to put school meals on the menu at Westminster was made possible thanks to some of the industry’s biggest supporters MP Sharon Hodgson and MP Emma Lewell.
