Across the country, councils are working hard to make sure every child has access to good food, whether through early years support, free school meals or wider healthy weight or anti-poverty strategies. But we know how complex this can be. Food provision across childhood often sits across multiple teams, services and settings, making it hard to see the full picture or plan for joined-up action.
At Bremner & Co, we help local authorities make sense of this complexity and take practical, evidence-informed action. Our work focuses on the first 8,000 days of life; from pregnancy to early adulthood, when access to good food can shape lifelong health, development and opportunity.
We support councils to:
- Map and understand food provision across early years and schools, to identify where change is most needed.
- Develop clear, coordinated food and nutrition strategies that embed equity and deliver impact.
- Bring together partners across public health, schools and catering teams to build strong, collaborative plans and programmes.
- Review and improve services so that they meet local needs and work in practice.
- Strengthen the case for investment and policy change, locally and nationally.
Our team combines experience across public health, education, government and the food system. We’ve helped councils boost free school meal registrations, build early years nutrition strategies, and design more inclusive food programmes for children and families.
