J12 Healthy Eating for Young People

Story

Junction 12 seeks to care for our young people emotionally, spiritually and physically. At lunchtime and after school drop-ins we have become aware that many of our young people have diets that consist of high sugar, high salt fast food items. We are aware that this affects their energy and concentration levels, their ability to learn, and will have a negative impact on their long term health and wellbeing.

We would like to encourage our young people to eat health foods, so we have begun providing healthy snacks at lunchtime drop-ins. The young people have chosen various fruit, veg and health snacks, which have been very popular over the last two weeks. This presents an added cost of £20-£25 per week to Junction 12.

Please can you help us provide healthy lunches during 2026.
