The Lunch Bag

2/10/2024

 
We’ve got some exciting news to share with you. 

At The Lunch Bag, we’re all about making life a little easier for parents, children, and schools. We want to support principals to ensure the scheme is accepted and is a success in their schools, so they can reap the benefits that hot school meals have to offer. We understand that this will take time and effort to establish! That's why we’ve teamed up with Dr.David Coleman, the well-known child psychologist, to bring parents helpful tips on nurturing their kids' emotional and psychological growth.
David’s expertise is the perfect match for our mission, and so, he has shared some useful
tips – with practical and compassionate advice for parents to help improve children’s
mealtime experience. You can explore this on our website, but we’ve also attached a PDF
version to this email, so please share it with parents in your school community!
Thank you so much for your continued support. We’re really excited to keep making a
positive impact with you!
