We’re proud to announce that our National School Pantry Network film has been shortlisted in the Smiley Charity Film Awards, a celebration of storytelling that shines a light on the causes making real change in communities across the UK.
Our film captures the heart of the NSPN: schools reducing food insecurity, empowering families with choice and dignity, and strengthening wellbeing within their communities. Through real stories from schools, students, and families, the film shows how schools are becoming hubs of hope, connection and practical support at a time when many families are struggling.
This nomination is a powerful moment for us, not because of recognition, but because it gives us a platform to share why this work matters.
“Every school deserves the tools to support families with dignity, choice and compassion. The National School Pantry Network is transforming the way we think about food security and this film tells that story beautifully. Your vote helps us reach even more schools across the UK.”
— Nathan Atkinson, co-founder, Rethink Food
