Ramsey school involved in UK fruit and veg drive

An Island school is one of 400 across the British Isles involved in a new scheme to help children get more fruit and veg in their diets.

The latest research reveals only 12% of children aged 11 and 18 are meeting the five-a-day recommendation.

A new initiative has been introduced by the British Nutrition Foundation and Tesco, which aims to provide funding for 140,000 pupils across 400 schools to receive at least one piece of fruit or veg a day.

Bunscoill Rhumsaa is the only school here that's currently involved.
