Southwark's Food and Fun meals service

The two core aims of the meals service are to: - Ensure holiday providers have the option to access nutritious, tasty and culturally appropriate pre-prepared meals that meet School Food Standards, and that their access to the service is simple and streamlined - Ensure that the children and young people attending participating holiday providers are provided with nutritious, tasty and culturally appropriate pre-prepared meals that meet School Food Standards and cater to the tastes and preferences of children and young people. The following objectives will contribute to the above core aims: - To develop a varied menu for the programme which meets School Food Standards and is appropriate to meet service users’ needs and tastes - To liaise directly with holiday providers to confirm number of meals required, meal selections, delivery days and times - To manage the expectations of holiday providers in relation to the ordering and delivery process - To manage the physical delivery of meals to holiday providers who opt in to the service, across a number of sites spread across the borough and at varying quantities each day - To collect information on and cater to any dietary requirements, requirements based on religious practices and allergies - To adhere to the quality criteria to minimise the environmental impact of the service and to embed sustainability - To engage with holiday providers, children and families to gain feedback on the service, and where appropriate, act upon learning between Easter, summer and Christmas programmes.
