Following the Oxfordshire Schools Food Workshop held on 7th March 2022 we want to hear more from you and understand: what your school is already doing to tackle food poverty, the climate crisis and support healthy eating; what resources and support you need; and what offers you could make to others.  This short questionnaire will take 10 minutes.
