Government to Pay for Poorer Families to Eat in Healthy Nottingham Restaurant
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 8 – The UK government is investing £8.5 million in six projects including two subsidised restaurants and a mobile greengrocer to improve access to nutritious food for deprived households.
The UK government revealed last week that two subsidised public restaurants will launch during the summer of next year, one located in Dundee and the other in Nottingham.
This initiative builds on the Government's recently introduced 10-Year Health Plan, which focuses on tackling food inequality and enhancing access to nutritious food.
The restaurants, launching next summer, aim to offer everyone the opportunity to enjoy healthy, sustainably sourced meals in communal environments, with a focus on supporting disadvantaged families with children.
Peter Kyle, the Science and Technology Secretary, emphasized that everyone in the nation should have access to nutritious food, highlighting the critical role of initiatives such as Queen of Greens and the importance of evaluating their effectiveness.
In addition to the restaurants, six initiatives across the UK will share £8.5 million in government investment aimed at addressing food inequality, including research to support and expand projects like Liverpool’s Queen of Greens bus.
