Magic stories
We’re transforming lives one breakfast at a time, but to eliminate child hunger for good is a huge challenge. Read about the incredible individuals, organisations, schools and children who inspire us to strive towards a healthier and more equal society.
My family are from Fermanagh in Northern Ireland and I grew up in Dagenham. My mum often used to invite children into our house for beans on toast after school. I remember watching them eating with urgency. My mum used to say they didn’t have enough at home to keep them going. That stayed with me.
