We continued our long-standing relationship with Greggs by sponsoring the baker’s latest Breakfast Club initiative, based at the Florence Nightingale Academy in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire.
We visited the local school on 24 May 2023 to help serve breakfast to Year 5 and Year 6 children.
The Breakfast Club, which is operated by the Greggs Foundation, provides a free, nutritional breakfast to children who need it, to ensure pupils are prepared for the day ahead. The initiative has been running nationally since 1999, and currently provides breakfasts for around 49,000 school children at nearly 779 locations each day.
We have worked with Greggs for more than twenty years, completing dozens of projects including factories, distribution centres and cold stores.
Oliver Jenkins, business development manager at Clegg Food Projects, said: “It’s been great to help give back to the local community. The Breakfast Clubs offers children the chance to start their day on a positive note. It’s a great initiative to get behind and we’re pleased to help support.”
Lynne Hindmarch, breakfast club manager for the Greggs Foundation, said: “It’s always a real pleasure to visit one of our Breakfast Clubs and witness first-hand the positive impact it has on the children attending every day. Thanks to our wonderful partners at Clegg Food Projects for sharing our commitment to Breakfast Clubs and the staff and pupils at The Florence Nightingale Academy for making us feel so welcome this morning.”
The Greggs Foundation has recently won Corporate Foundation of the Year in the 2023 Business Charity Awards, an accolade the charity wouldn’t have won without the support of businesses like Clegg Food Projects.
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.
