Looking for ways to make healthy eating a core part of your school culture? Surrey schools can now apply for a Healthy Eating Grant of up to £500 to fund creative projects that promote wellbeing and tackle health inequalities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to bring your ideas to life and strengthen your approach to Theme 3 of the Surrey Healthy Schools framework. All funds must be spent by April 2026, and applications close February 2026.

What could you do with £500?

• Create a “Snack Smart” Zone – Provide healthy snack options and run pupil-led campaigns to encourage better choices.
• Grow Your Own – Start a school garden or herb patch, linking to science and sustainability lessons.
• Cooking for Life Workshops – Host sessions for pupils and families to learn simple, nutritious recipes together.
• Healthy Lunchbox Challenge – Launch a fun competition to inspire balanced lunchboxes and share ideas across the school community.

Why apply?

• Supports your school’s wellbeing strategy.
• Engages pupils and families in positive lifestyle changes.
• Contributes to reducing health inequalities in Surrey.

To apply, submit a short proposal (around 500 words) outlining your project and expected impact. After implementation, schools will share outcomes in Spring 2026, helping us build a county-wide picture of success.
