## **TRUSTEES' STATEMENT** 



TastEd exists to deliver sensory food education to as many children as possible in the UK. We aspire to TastEd becoming the norm for all children everywhere, but our immediate aims are to increase delivery of sensory food education in the UK and for the TastEd lessons to be the go-to solution for teachers to provide this. We believe this will have a lifelong impact on improving the diets of the population, in particular improving the consumption of vegetables and fruit.

**Jane Lockie** 


We also seek to maintain the quality of TastEd lesson delivery by providing teacher training before teachers use the lessons and by providing ongoing support and further training. We are proud to have delivered TastEd to more children (our beneficiaries) and families in our second year using lesson plans delivered by trained teachers in UK schools. The challenges of the pandemic made this more difficult, but also more urgent as the consequences of unhealthy diets were laid bare. We thus provided home learning packs, online lessons and a 'Happier Mealtimes' broadcast all of which allowed us to reach more beneficiaries. 


We became a CIO in June 2019 and last years report covered our achievements for our first year. This report thus covers a shorter period June 2020 to April 2021 to align with our financial year.

## **ABOUT** 

## **I don't want to try new foods because I don't think it will taste nice.** 

A 6-year-old before a TastEd lesson 

TastEd's aim is to help children across the UK learn to enjoy eating vegetables and fruits through sensory food education so that they develop healthier food preferences. 

Many children feel scared of trying new foods but we believe they can be excited to explore the huge variety of sights, smells, textures, sounds and tastes available. 

On average children aged between 5 and 10 living in the UK eat just 1.7 portions of veg a day and sensory food education is one of the key ways in which we can work to improve this.* 

We provide schools and parents with resources and support to use TastEd's unique, fun lessons giving both children and adults new ways to explore and discover vegetables and fruits. These lessons empower children to explore, taste and learn to enjoy fruits and vegetables, ultimately helping them enjoy a more healthy diet. 

**I'm scared to eat new food in case I don't like it.**

## **VOLUNTEERS** 

In March 2021 TastEd began the recruitment of volunteers. 

## what worked **THIS YEAR** 

TastEd is now in its second year, a year of growth and success but also one that required responsiveness due to the ever-changing situations caused by the pandemic. 

During this period TastEd trained and worked with 11 new schools, as well as continuing to work with schools previously engaged with TastEd, meaning children across the country were receiving TastEd lessons and having the opportunity to explore food using all their senses. 

In January 2021, Trustees decided to make access to TastEd resources free for all UK primary schools, to ensure all children have the chance to experience TastEd and remove the issue of cost for schools 

TastEd successfully secured funding to produce a series of videos to facilitate online training, helping school staff to understand the core principles of TastEd and receive guidance on running the programme within their schools. The first film is 

commissioned to begin filming in April 2021. 

As a small charity, working on a national scale, the time and skills volunteers can offer is invaluable to increasing the work we can do. 

We were overwhelmed with the huge number of amazing applications received and are excited to have 11 passionate volunteers on board who are looking forward to becoming ambassadors for TastEd in their local areas. 



## Covid Response 

As the coronavirus pandemic led to the closing of schools and further disruption to children's education TastEd continued to develop ways of allowing children and families to access TastEd sessions from home. 

The home learning resources created last year were downloaded an additional 319 times during this period. 

Live TastEd lessons were run on YouTube with TastEd teaching consultant Ruth Platt delivering one session for each of the senses. These have since been viewed over 800 times. 

"My 6 year old daughter never tries new food but she was willing to try all the new veg I gave her after learning about it as she was then interested." 

"We tried ground cumin, nutmeg, ground coriander, cloves and after the live [session] the kids asked for more!! So we basically tried the whole cupboard of spices" 

"This blew me away! My 4 year old - who is definitely a regular refuser of food at mealtimes - tried everything and went back for more, and tried new things, and actually couldn't wait to get stuck in and taste things!" 

Testaments from parents and carers after taking part in the live lessons or doing TastEd activties at home. 



## **TastEd In Lincolnshire** 

TastEd secured funding from The Lincolnshire Community Foundation to run a project working with 4 new schools in Lincolnshire, helping to create a hub of schools in the area. 

"The children were really adventurous on the most part and it really encouraged them seeing their friends having a go and trying." 


The project ran from March 2021 and will continue to August 2021. 

Research showed that during lockdown children on free school meals ate less fruit and vegetables.** As such TastEd worked with four schools with a high free school meal percentage to ensure those most affected by the pandemic had the opportunity to experience fresh fruit and vegetables in the classroom, learning about where they came from and discovering preferences for foods they had never tried before. 


Some children were surprised at how nice all of the fruits were. Some children had not tried strawberries before and really liked them.

## Looking Ahead 

## **NEXT YEAR** 


With the uncertainties of the pandemic allowing, in our next reporting period, from 6th April 2021 to the 5th April 2022, we will: 

- Have a fully accessible set of resources that are completely free for UK primary schools to use, as such our aim will be to have 100 schools signed up to deliver TastEd lessons, increasing our reach significantly. 

- Produce a teacher training video that will help school staff understand the principles of TastEd and enable schools to embed TastEd lessons into their curriculum without the necessary need for in-person training. 

- Work with the University of Exeter to produce a body of evidence showing the effectiveness of sensory food education in improving children's relationships with healthy eating. 

- Set up a teacher advisory board. TastEd has always been strongly teacherled and this board will allow TastEd to ensure teachers continue to be at the forefront of the work we do. 

- Expand volunteer roles. Recruiting volunteers with a range of different skills to learn from their expertise and to increase the work that is able to be done on a day-to-day basis. 

- Continue to work collaboratively, building relationships to learn from those in the field and creating a wider understanding of what sensory food education is and why there is a need for it. 

All of this is to enable more children across the UK to know, try and enjoy more vegetables and fruits. 



## FINANCIAL OVERVIEW 

## April 2020 to April 2021 

The majority of our funds have come from private donations, we have also received a grant from the Lincolnshire Community Foundation to deliver TastEd in Lincolnshire based primary schools, and have incoming revenue from individual schools signed up to access TastEd membership. We additionally received a regular payment from the Talking Politics podcast for which we are extremely grateful. We also applied for and were granted funds of £12,480 from the Jane Goodman Trust which are allocated for creating a set of TastEd training videos. 

Our main expenses were project management fees, teacher training costs and website running and update costs. There were no trustee expenses in this financial period. 

We appointed accountants Burdett King Accountancy to audit our accounts. We registered for gift aid to maximise the generous personal donations we had already received. In accordance with our reserves policy £8000 is in reserve to allow us to run the website and provide support to schools for a 4 month period should our income cease to exist. 

All of this is to enable more children across the UK to know, try and enjoy more vegetables and fruits.
