2.7 million children are living in a household that’s experiencing food poverty
Help them start the new school year full of beans
As children, teachers and parents prepare for the new school year, the focus will primarily be on school supplies, lesson plans and school equipment.
But studies show that students need fuel to learn, just as much as they need pens, pencils and paper. Providing breakfast doesn’t just improve performance at school, it can help support mental and physical wellbeing and support the child as whole. Your generous donation could help them start the new school year full of beans.

Why Breakfast Matters…
Whether it’s beans on toast, a healthy cereal, or a filling bagel, we know the difference that a breakfast can make.
Better academic progress
Your donation can give children more days of learning this school year. By giving a free, nutritious breakfast, children on average achieve an additional two months of progress over the course of the school year. That’s nearly a whole another term of learning.
Better attendance
Every year, each class without breakfast provision will have 13 days more absence. That’s about 4 days per every half term.
This means more days of learning, socialising and more academic progress!
Better grades at GCSE
Teenagers who miss out on breakfast could miss out on a higher grade, achieving up to two grades lower than their peers who ate breakfast.
Missing out on grades can mean missing out on opportunities later on.
Better physical and mental health
83% of our partner schools believe Magic Breakfast has a positive impact on physical health and healthy eating habits.
Breakfast clubs are a great place to socialise and make friends, which can support a child’s mental health an wellbeing
