There is no other charity like Magic Breakfast. We bring together evidence, experience, and expertise to help hungry children access stigma and barrier free breakfasts in schools across the UK. Our solution is simple – equal the playing field each morning by feeding children – so everyone has the best chance to start their day ready to learn. With 2.1 million children in the UK at risk of going hungry every morning, we’re working together to tackle child morning hunger today and end it for good.

We believe that anyone with a passion of supporting hungry children to learn can thrive here. Our people strategy is all about you, we place people at the heart of all we do. Our aim is that if you work at Magic Breakfast you’re happy, fulfilled, and able to bring their whole selves to work.

Quotes from staff

I love working at Magic Breakfast. The Fundraising and Development team is dynamic and really supportive. There is a lot of collaboration and opportunity to work on different projects happening internally and externally. I personally love coming into the office but the flexible working also allows me and other colleagues to connect virtually from home when needed.”

The benefit of Wellbeing Wednesday is wonderful, it breaks up the week and really helps my head space. I usually try and go to the gym during it and I always come back to work feeling refreshed! I also love that you’re truly encouraged to take it by your managers and wider org.”

No day is the same! …and we get to work with colleagues across the UK and with other great organisations (donors, schools, other charities, etc.) that support our work.
