Using the sugary drinks tax to improve healthy food access in schools

摘要

This report suggests that investing the funds raised from taxation of sugary drinks back into improving children’s health via schools is a ‘triple win’ for reducing obesity, levelling children’s health inequalities and providing muchneeded resource to schools and children’s food initiatives. It pulls together the results of a survey and case studies, completed by schools, local authorities, charities and enterprises working on school food projects, which provide a detailed picture of both the positive impact and the challenges experienced by local authorities and schools in accessing the funding.
