The issue of child poverty and hunger is particularly evident in London, which has the highest poverty rate in the UK. Today, 700,000 children in London live in relative poverty, which is more than in Scotland and Wales combined. As the UK’s largest school breakfast network, we have the necessary experience to support schools in implementing our breakfast programme, in order to combat child hunger. We currently operate in 480 schools across the UK, 180 of which are located in London.

Through food aid, with the provision of healthy breakfasts to schools where children arrive too hungry to learn; • through building capacity within the school communities we work with, to ensure that every child in need of a breakfast has access to one, and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the breakfast provision within each of our partner schools • by making the case for change we campaign for sustainable long-term funding to support school breakfasts in the most deprived areas
