Huge thanks to all who came to the @APPGNutrition & ICAN UK reception.

For 15 yrs, SUN has been expanding, transforming lives through nutrition.
We've established national platforms. Placed nutrition on the agenda. Fostered multistakeholder coordination. Proven that country-led action works.
We're ready for the next chapter scalingupnutrition.org/about…
