What we do

Magic Breakfast provides nutritious breakfasts to children as fuel for learning and expert support to schools
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.
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 porridge, cereal, specially made protein rich bagels and fresh fruit juice.
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.
