News • Children's Food Campaign

Children's Food Campaign: Better food and food teaching for children in schools, and protection of children from junk food marketing are the aims of Sustain's high-profile Children's Food Campaign. We also want clear food labelling that can be understood by everyone, including children.

Press office

Kate Howard
Campaign Coordinator
Children's Food Campaign

Kate joined Sustain in June 2023, and coordinates the Recipe for Change campaign, as part of the wider Children’s Food Campaign. Recipe for Change is calling on the Government to introduce new industry levies to help make our food and drink healthier, building on the success of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy.

She brings a background in managing programmes in a range of health and educational settings in the UK and abroad, most recently in Nesta’s People Powered Results team where she supported long term change in the NHS and community settings by mobilising those closest to the issues.
