EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1981 captures a poignant moment in the history of school meals and catering services. In an era marked by government cuts, a woman is seen diligently cutting up food to serve to hungry schoolchildren at Crowland School in Lincolnshire. The Salvation Army can be seen serving soup and snacks to the children, highlighting their commitment to providing for those in need.
The image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by schools during this time, with discontinued funding leading to limited resources for essential services like meals. Despite these obstacles, dedicated individuals like the woman in the photo worked tirelessly to ensure that children received nourishing meals during their time at school.
The uniforms worn by the children and the dated kitchen equipment provide a glimpse into the past, offering a snapshot of historical practices in education and nutrition. This photograph not only documents a specific moment in time but also speaks to broader themes of community support and resilience in times of adversity.
As we reflect on this image from over four decades ago, it serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of ensuring that all children have access to nutritious meals while attending school.
