Stephanie set up School Food Matters in 2007 after successfully campaigning to improve the food at her children’s primary school. Stephanie is a founder member of the School Food Review, a group calling for reform of school food policy so that no child misses out on the nutrition they need to thrive.

She is also a founder member of the Food Education Network, an alliance of organisations and individuals committed to championing food education in England.
