Veg Power

Veg Power is a not-for-profit nationwide alliance with a mission to inspire and support kids to have veggie loving habits they will share with their family today and their own children tomorrow

Currently Veg Power runs three campaigns to encourage families to eat more veg:

Simply Veg – The mission of Simply Veg is to make it as easy as possible to navigate the cost-of-living crisis by serving affordable as well as sustainable and healthy veg-packed meals that families will love.

#Seasonal Veg – a series of social media campaigns to educate and excite people to eat #SeasonalVeg – traybakes, salads-on-sticks, and one-pot dishes, as well as focusing on different vegetables when they are at their best.

Eat Them To Defeat Them – features activities and recipe ideas to reduce the ‘fear factor’ some children experience when eating new/different vegetables to those they are used to.

Schools are encouraged to get involved, by asking school caterers to lay out tasty sample dishes of each weeks veg. There are stickers to reward the kids who give them a try, and back home the kids will have a reward chart to encourage them to repeat and normalise eating that veg. Some schools really go for it!

If you are a children’s centre, primary school or a school which caters for kids with special educational needs and you would like to take part, please contact Veg Power to register your interest. Contact hello@vegpower.org.uk.

Families who do not receive a hard copy of the activity book will still be able to take part by downloading an electronic version.
