Too often children are hungry: missing breakfast and not getting a hot meal outside of school or in the holidays, and so their education and health are suffering.

Through interactive workshops, presentations and an exhibition – we will look at how to help prevent food poverty through work in schools, nurseries and other places serving food to children, and how to engage these young people and make sure their voices are heard.

Confirmed speakers include:
Henry Dimbleby, co-founder LEON restaurant, currently on assignment from the Secretary of State for Education to review all aspects of food in schools
Janey Thornton, Deputy Under Secretary, Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services, United States Department of Agriculture
Dave Payne, father of school dinner blogger Martha Payne
Carmel McConnell, social entrepreneur and founder of Magic Breakfast
Jay Rayner, Observer journalist, food expert for The One Show and Masterchef critic
