Social Value at our FOOD Clubs

Social Value is the impact organisations create for the economy, communities, and society.

As a charity, creating and delivering Social Value runs through everything we do, but it is especially noticeable in our Food On Our Doorstep (FOOD) Clubs. Families can access goodquality food at a low cost, while also reducing food waste and being signposted to other services. Using volunteers, working with partners and the environmental benefits of the Clubs all contribute to Family Action’s and our partners’ social value.

National School Breakfast Programme

The National School Breakfast Programme (NSBP), funded by the Department for Education, launched in 2021 in its current form.

“[People] just come in completely broken, want to offload, and they know that I’m the first person they’ll see. I think that’s one of the areas where we go above and beyond… I can point [people] towards useful general services.”

Family Action has worked hard to ensure the learning we had following the pandemic has been fed into this version of the Programme. In June 2022, over 270,000 children were receiving a healthy and nutritious breakfast every school day, which has been proven to have health and educational benefits. Since then, the NSBP has become the largest it has ever been, with 2,500 schools recruited to the programme.

“Working in partnership with the NSBP has been, and continues to be, incredible. Providing a breakfast… ensures all children have food and are ready to embrace the day and make the most of every moment.”
