If you’d like to find out more about our work or need help planning your school breakfast, check out our handy reads and resources to get you started.

Information and support

Our in-house experts not only set up breakfasts in schools, they can also help identify hunger. Hunger doesn’t always look the same, especially in children. So hear from our team about how you can set up a breakfast in your school that everyone can access, and what to look out for when tackling hunger in school.

Nutrition

Magic Breakfast’s nutritionist and engagement and support team make sure that the food we provide to schools complies with the government’s mandatory School Food Standards and is low in sugar, salt and fat. They advise schools on potential allergens in the food and drink supplied and are a great source of nutrition knowledge.
