    Situation

    The issue of child hunger in the UK and its impact upon educational attainment is more pressing than ever before. The number of children living below the breadline now stands at 4.1 million - a significant proportion of whom arrive at school too hungry or malnourished to learn. 80% of teachers report that a hungry child cannot concentrate; that they are more likely to be restless, unhappy, lethargic, distracted or disruptive in lessons. Quite simply, they are too hungry to learn.

    Solution

    Magic Breakfast is the UK’s leading charity for child breakfast provision with over a decade of experience supporting schools where pupil hunger acts as a barrier to classroom learning. We provide healthy and nutritious breakfasts to over 40,000 children, and a further 280,000 pupils in partnership with Family Action, via a National School Breakfast Programme. Beyond food aid, we also provide essential expertise to help schools optimise their breakfast provision and reach the most vulnerable.
