Fuel For Success
During exam season, the stakes are high for young people facing hunger. This affects their focus and learning every single day. Some will even be stepping into exam halls right now with empty stomachs, their hunger overshadowing their hard work and potential.
We want to give every student the opportunity to perform at their best.
Help level the playing field
As we see children fall behind their wealthier peers, we need to act quickly before all the damage is done, before all their potential is lost. Will you help children and young people get the best possible start in life?
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.
