At Rethink Food, children are at the heart of everything we do. This World Children’s Day, we join the global celebration of young people and their right to thrive in a world that supports their health, happiness, and aspirations.
World Children’s Day, celebrated annually on November 20th, is a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility we share to protect and empower young people. This year’s theme – “For Every Child, Every Right” – resonates deeply with our mission to provide children with the tools they need to live healthy lives and make positive choices for themselves and their planet.
At Rethink Food, we see food education as a fundamental right. Access to nutritious meals, knowledge about health and sustainability, and opportunities to learn are essential for children to reach their full potential.
How We’re Supporting Children
Through our Agents of Change programme, we work directly with schools to equip children with practical skills and knowledge that will benefit them for life:
- Health and Well-being: Teaching young people about the importance of balanced meals, physical activity, and positive mental health.
- Environmental Awareness: Encouraging sustainable habits that protect the planet.
- Confidence and Leadership: Helping children become changemakers in their communities.
We’ve seen incredible stories of students leading change in their schools and communities. From reducing food waste to introducing healthier choices in school canteens, young people are proving they have the power to shape a better future.
On this World Children’s Day, we invite schools, teachers, parents, and businesses to join us in empowering young people. Whether it’s through supporting our programmes, sharing our resources, or simply taking a moment to reflect on the importance of children’s voices, every action counts.
Together, let’s ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
