Supermarket’s Community Budget encourages healthy eating

Tanya shares this latest news from Sainsbury’s. Ed


St George’s School has received a donation of gift cards from Sainsbury’s Isle of Wight store in Newport, which helped to fund healthy eating ingredients.

The donation was made possible through the store’s Community Budget.

At St George’s School we use mid-morning snack times as important opportunities to develop healthy lifestyles and independent living, through students making healthy choices as to the content of their snacks and taking responsibility for preparing their own snacks and developing the relevant skills to do this.

With the donation we have been able to provide classes with fresh fruit and vegetables for snack times along with some other healthy snack items.

In Food Technology lessons and the 6th form options Hospitality group students have been exploring making snacks from fruit, such as fruit salad and fruit smoothies.
