Summary

The Food for Thought Education Fund gives financial support to Early Learning and Childcare Centres, primary schools, ASN schools (including those in the independent sector) and secondary schools in Scotland to help them develop food and health as a context for learning.

They are looking for bids which focus on the following aims:

• ensuring learners have an understanding about food education and can apply their knowledge and skills in a progressive way
• relating projects to the world of work, reducing food waste and learning through farm visits
• improving outcomes for learners in ways which seek to eliminate the inequity that currently exists amongst learners from different backgrounds, and from particular vulnerable groups
