We are so pleased to be continuing our long-standing relationship with Greggs by sponsoring its Breakfast Club for the third year in a row.
The Breakfast Club, which is operated by the Greggs Foundation, offers underprivileged children the chance to a nutritious breakfast before school.
There are more than 779 breakfast clubs across the UK that serve 8.7 million free breakfasts to around 49,000 children every school day.
The initiative has been running nationally since 1999, and currently provides breakfasts for around 40,000 school children at nearly 650 locations.
Oliver Jenkins, business development manager at Clegg Food Projects, said:
“It’s great to be working with the Greggs Foundations Breakfast Club again this year. It’s a charity that is close to our hearts having worked with Greggs for many years, so partnering with the team on such a worthy cause is great.”
The average Breakfast Club costs £3,000 to set up and run for an academic year. Our support has been allocated to a local school that will help children get the best start to their school day.
Teacher feedback has shown that breakfast clubs offer children a positive social environment and can help improve concentration through better adult engagement earlier in the day. As well as providing a nutritious morning meal, the club aims to encourage children to enjoy themselves and engage with school staff and the education system.
