In this role, she leads on shaping the strategic direction for the programme and our work to influence broader policy and industry, to ensure children and young people in Lambeth and Southwark and other urban areas have access to good nutrition. She works cross-organisationally to bring the best evaluation, data and influencing expertise to the programme. In her previous role, her work focused on creating impactful partnerships to improve the nutritional quality of school food in the boroughs and beyond. Becka is proud to be a Mental Health First Aider at work and sits on the Foundation’s Mental Health First Aid group.
