Response to call for views on the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Bill from the Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee
A small investment in school breakfast would mean a big difference to this Government’s levelling up legacy

Levelling up, the Government’s flagship policy to address poverty and inequality of life chances, is a bold and captivating idea. But it risks becoming a hollow slogan without concrete investments in the right policy. It doesn’t need to be this way.

What we do

Magic Breakfast provides nutritious breakfasts to children as fuel for learning and expert support to schools
What does a magic breakfast look like?

We provide schools with low sugar, low salt, low fat, nutritious breakfast food for children. A "magic" breakfast consists of a selection from porridge, cereal, bagels, beanz and fresh fruit juice (where school food regulations allow).
What can a school expect from us?

Magic Breakfast not only provides food aid to schools, but has an expert team to help identify and reach every hungry pupil, offer nutrition advice and training, give parents nutrition and food hygiene training, and advise on post-breakfast activities such as book clubs and exercise sessions.
Why we are needed

Prior to the pandemic, 1.7 million children in the UK were living with food insecurity. This number is, sadly, likely to have grown because of Covid-19.
