Organisations that have supported the Nutrition Fair
A whole host of organisations have supported us over the years. Organisations can offer support by sponsoring the overall fair (covering basic costs and supporting us on the day) or by sponsoring prizes. Organisations can also offer support in the form of monetary sponsorship of individual student stalls, donations in kind (including products and equipment), loan or provision of materials or resources (such as models) or providing health promotion or information materials such as leaflets and posters. We are so grateful for the continued support of these organisations. Without them we could not produce the quality of fair we do today.
Outreach/ Schools
We often get requests from schools keen to bring their pupils along to visit the fair. Accommodating very large numbers of children can be difficult for us however, for many years Totley Primary School have supported the Nutrition Fair by bringing year 6 pupils to visit. This year will be no exception! Our links with the school have been hugely beneficial to the many students who had the pleasure of meeting the delightful children and explaining various aspects of food and nutrition to them. The students often report this as one of the most rewarding parts of the day and they are impressed by the intelligent questions the children ask.
Totley Primary report on their experiences of the Nutrition Fair here:
Over the past ten years I have attended every Nutrition Fair. Each year I have been amazed at the level of commitment and professionalism demonstrated by the students. The content of the Nutrition Fair is always challenging to attendees and provides an up to date outlook of the wonderful industry we all belong to. As Undergraduate Programme Leader I am always immensely proud of what our students can achieve. Bring on the next ten years! John Perry (Undergraduate Programme Leader, 2014)
