Magic beans: the protein-rich superfood in a potful of top chefs’ recipes
Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are among a group of celebrity chefs and supermarkets spearheading a new campaign to double UK bean consumption by 2028.
There has been a long push for people to include more legumes in their diets – they are climate friendly and healthy.

Schools make more
Social care referrals than anyone else. And social care can’t/wont step in until a family reaches crisis point.
This is not good.
Schools cannot continue to plug this gap. It’s not what we trained for, not what we know.
