Yesterday, the government announced the Children's Wellbeing Bill that includes a requirement for free school breakfast clubs in every primary school. Today, we are launching our #BreakfastPowersOpportunity campaign to make this commitment a reality! 📢 Across the UK, 1 in 5 children are at risk of morning hunger. That’s why the new bill is something to celebrate and feel hopeful about, but our journey isn’t over yet. Join our campaign today ➡ https://utm.guru/uheas ⬅ and tell us in the comments how breakfast powers your day. Together, we can ensure that no child starts their school day too hungry to learn. 📚 #NoChildTooHungryToLearn #ChildrensWellbeingBill #Education #SchoolBreakfasts

About us
Magic Breakfast is a registered charity in England and Scotland. The charity focuses on reaching children in disadvantaged areas of the UK, forming partnerships with schools to ensure all their pupils at risk of hunger have access to a healthy meal, without barrier or stigma, at the start of the school day. Magic Breakfast provides the expertise and food – including low sugar cereals, porridge and bagels, all complying with School Food Standards - schools provide the facilities and staff. The charity was established in 2003 by Carmel McConnell MBE in response to 5 head teachers telling her that the biggest obstacle to them being able to teach was hunger among their pupils. Today, we are offering breakfasts to around 200,000 children in primary, secondary, SEN/ALS schools and pupil referral units. School breakfast provision has been shown to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged children. Independent research by the Education Endowment Foundation and Institute for Fiscal Studies, found that children in Yr2 who were offered a free, nutritious Magic Breakfast boosted their reading, writing and maths results by an average of two months’ progress over the course of a year. A study, published in Feb 2021 by Pro Bono Economics, Magic Breakfast and Heinz, found that providing disadvantaged pupils completing KS1/Primary 3 with a year’s supply of school breakfast provision could generate long-term economic benefits in excess of £9,000 per child.

The power of breakfast is very real! When many employers ask for a C or above in Maths and English (5 or above in the new grading system), regular breakfasts can have a significant impact on young people's lives. #BreakfastPowersOpportunity at school and beyond. #ChildrensWellbeingBill #ResultsDay #GCSEresults #SchoolBreakfasts

As many young people celebrate their A Level results today, we reflect on the many breakfasts that will have fuelled them through their exams.🍳 Throughout the summer exam period, our fantastic partner restaurants asked their guests for a simple £1 voluntary donation to their bill. All those £1s added up and together we raised an incredible £94,118! 🧡 Thank you D&D London, The Vineyard, Hawksmoor, and Thesleff Group for supporting our #FuelForSuccess campaign. And of course, thank you to everyone who donated that £1! Your contributions will help to fuel 1000s of futures 🚀 #ResultsDay #ALevels #NoChildTooHungryToLearn

We’ve been delivering breakfasts to schools across the UK for 20 years, and we understand the power of breakfast. 🍎 A full, nutritious breakfast at school is the key to powering the opportunities in every classroom across the country. The Children’s Wellbeing Bill will make free school breakfast clubs a legal requirement in all primary schools. The government needs to act quickly, push this bill forward, and set out a full implementation plan for long-term school breakfast provision. Add your voice to our campaign! 🔗https://utm.guru/uhjrY 💥#BreakfastPowersOpportunity💥 #NoChildTooHungryToLearn #ChildrensWellbeingBill #SchoolBreakfasts

Last week, we attended No Child Left Behind‘s event in London to call for free school meals across all primary schools ✊📢 At Magic Breakfast, we know hungry tummies in the classroom affect the learning and behaviours of children. We were happy to join coalition members, children and young people, teachers, parents and councils at parliament square to lend our support for free school meals for all children. Every child should have access to the food they need to learn and thrive at school 🚀 Photo Credit: Rehan Jamil #NoChildTooHungryToLearn #FreeSchoolMealsForAll

Today marks the start of Parliament’s summer recess. 🌞 That means the House of Commons and the House of Lords are now closed for business until 2nd September. However, our work continues over the summer as we prepare for Parliament’s return, when we will push for the school breakfast provisions within the #ChildrensWellbeingBill to be prioritised and for the government to set out a full implementation plan for long-term school breakfast provision. 💥#BreakfastPowersOpportunity💥 Morning hunger creates a barrier to opportunity - holding children and young people back from getting the marks and building the skills that set them up for life. Breakfast powers the day, imagination, and the next generation. 🚀 A full, nutritious breakfast at school is the key to powering the opportunities in every classroom across the country. Together we want to demonstrate the power of school breakfasts and end child morning hunger for good.
