National Lottery funding has been made available through The School Fruit Pilot Programme to support the promotion of healthy eating in schools. This £42 million New Opportunities Fund programme has been rolled out to five regions. The aim of the programme is to help improve the diet of children and to reduce their risk of heart disease and cancer later in life.
