Greggs Breakfast Clubs
As well as supporting school breakfast clubs, Greggs also have funding available to assist with any start-up costs related to cooking equipment and cold food storage.
All schools in their Breakfast Club network get access to the hardship programme. This programme issues grants and supports children and families with food and clothing vouchers, as well as beds, bedding and home appliances including ovens, fridge freezers and washing machines.
In 2022, they launched a new education programme with charity Rethink Food, to deliver one million hours of education into schools. This focuses on issues of food security, active lifestyles, healthy eating and sustainability and has a range of resources for teachers to use in school via the free Agents of Change multimedia programme.
About Greggs Breakfast Clubs
Greggs Breakfast Clubs are a flagship programme for The Greggs Foundation and one of the key ways in which we support children and families. Their network of Breakfast Clubs run all over England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
From their first club in 1999, they have now grown the network to run over 840 clubs nationwide, helping to feed over 52,000 children daily.
Breakfast Clubs offer so much more than a breakfast. They give schools the freedom and funds to choose nutritious options for their pupils but, we also make sure they have freshly baked bread donated by their local Greggs shop.
Every Breakfast Club is different, feeding small groups to over 100 children each day. But the central principle is the same, they are a safe space for children to eat, spend time with their friends and talk with adults in preparation for the school day.
