The British Nutrition Foundation has had almost 2,000 registrations for Snack-tember 2025; a nationwide initiative launching this September to inspire healthier, more sustainable snacking habits amongst children and young people.
With just three months to go, the Foundation is calling on even more schools and settings working with children and young people aged 5-16 years to sign up and get involved in the free initiative to promote healthier snack choices at school and at home.
Snack-tember 2025 builds on the success of previous initiatives and offers free, curriculum-linked resources, tailored for both primary and secondary school students. 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, balanced diet.
Claire Theobald, Education Services Manager of the British Nutrition Foundation, 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.”
Snack-tember 2025 also supports schools in delivering their curricula around health education, nutrition and cooking, while making the learning fun, inclusive, and relevant. This year’s resources encourage students to explore, make and try different snack options, encouraging them to think critically about what they eat between meals.
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.
Participation is open to all UK schools, and settings, working with children and young people aged 5-16 years.
