During exam season, the stakes are high for young people facing hunger
Too many students are facing morning hunger, affecting 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.
That’s why Magic Breakfast’s work to ensure that no child is too hungry to learn is so crucial. Our Fuel for Success campaign is about more than breakfast – it’s about fairness. We want to give every student the opportunity to perform at their best.
You can make a difference
This exam season, join us in raising funds and awareness to make sure no child’s future is shaped by an empty breakfast plate.
School breakfasts are a lifeline
…especially for the 2.7 million children across the UK who are at risk of morning hunger.
Breakfasts fuel attainment
Students who regularly eat breakfast score 2 grades higher in their GCSEs (Leeds University).
No young person should miss out
…on the fuel they need to succeed. No life-shaping moment should be faced on an empty stomach.
“People who don’t get enough to eat in the morning, might find it hard to learn. Then they’ll really struggle in tests, and then not get the job they want.”
– Student, age 9
“School breakfast is a lifeline for the parents who work difficult hours and a saviour for children who rely on the food and the social contact.”
