About Veg Power
Veg Power is a twice-a-year campaign to promote the consumption of vegetables by children and their families.
This online campaign is supported by activity packs distributed into schools and other childcare settings as well as through supermarkets and food banks.
The slogan is ’Eat Them To Defeat Them' and features activities and recipe ideas to reduce the ‘fear factor’ some children experience when eating new/different vegetables to those they are used to.
During 2020, the Veg Power campaign reached over 25 schools and children's centres, and over 5,000 children in Hull. Those schools were as follows:
- Bellfield Primary
- Christopher Pickering Primary
- Chiltern Primary Academy
- Collingwood Primary
- Craven Primary
- Francis Askew Primary
- Ings Primary
- Maybury Primary
- Mountbatten Primary
- Newington Primary
- Paisley Primary
- Priory Primary
- Rokeby Park Primary
- Sidmouth Primary
- Southcoates Primary
- St James Primary
- St Mary Queen of Martyrs Primary
- St Vincent’s Primary
- Stockwell Primary
- Thanet Primary
- Thorpe Park Primary
- Wansbeck Primary
- Wheeler Primary
- Woodland Primary
- Wold Primary
