What is Snack-tember all about?
We want to improve children and young people’s knowledge, skills, confidence and motivation, so that they can make and choose healthier, more sustainable snacks.
Throughout September 2026, we will be helping children and young people to:
- Explore better snacking
- Try new snacks
- Make their own healthy snacks
We'll have a range of resources for those teaching, or working with, children and young people aged 5-16 years. These will include, activity ideas, recipes, posters and lots more!
Our aim is to help children and young people choose and make snacks that have:
- MORE vegetables and fruit
- MORE wholegrains, beans and pulses
- LESS saturated fat, salt and sugars
These are key contributors to healthier, more sustainable snacking!
What happened last year?
Snack-tember was a fantastic way to inspire pupils to think more creatively about healthy eating and make positive food choices. It brought real excitement into our form lessons and encouraged meaningful discussions about nutrition.
