We welcome the @departmentforedu.bsky.social announcement! 📢 500,000 children in areas of the highest disadvantage are set to join breakfast club programme next year.

But to deliver the Opportunity Mission, the Gov must include the Early Adopter Scheme learnings in guidance for a national rollout.

Last night we were honoured to win Charity of the Year (over £10m income) at the #CharityTimesAwards! 🏆

Great to see this report from @sustainweb.org and @impurbanhealth.bsky.social showing the huge potential of school food to improve health and contribute to the economy! School breakfasts also have the potential to enable these local food opportunities.

Important report from @impetus.org.uk on school attendance crisis shows young people need social connection, enrichment, and trust in the adults around them. 👀👇
The national roll-out of breakfast clubs can offer just that and it's great to see the voices of children at the heart of this work 💪

Welcome back to Holyrood!

As MSPs return to Parliament and pupils return to classrooms, both are laying the groundwork for Scotland’s future. Our latest blog post explores why universal breakfast provision must be part of that vision.

A quote from Laura Chow, Head of Charities, People’s Postcode Lottery regarding their collaboration with Magic Breakfast on their Annual Breakfast Survey results, ""[The Annual Breakfast Survey] shows the benefits that a daily school breakfast makes to so many children, schools and the communities. It's clear that Magic Breakfast and players of People’s Postcode Lottery are making mornings better, giving children a better chance to learn.”

A statistic from Magic Breakfast's Annual Breakfast Survey: 94% of schools agree that Magic Breakfast positively impacts pupils' readiness to learn.

A statistic from Magic Breakfast's Annual Breakfast Survey: 76% of schools agree that a breakfast provision reduces inequalities between pupils.

A quote from a Magic Breakfast partner school from their Annual Breakfast Survey: "Morning hunger steals a child's focus... and widens the gap between potential and performance."

✉️ Together, we delivered over 1,300 messages written by pupils to 10 Downing Street. These handwritten notes described in powerful, personal terms how hunger can affect learning and wellbeing, and why access to a healthy breakfast should be available to every child.

📣 On Wednesday, we were proud to stand in Parliament Square alongside pupils, teachers, supporters, and MPs to deliver a clear message to the Government - no child should be too hungry to learn!

Expanding free breakfast provision to nursery-aged children is one action that the Government can take to achieve their ambition of levelling the playing field for every child.

To deliver, the Gov must guarantee adequate and sustained investment, cross-sector collaboration and a joined-up approach to tackling child poverty. Too many children start their day too hungry to thrive, and as the strategy states, “the foundations of success are laid in early childhood.” (2/3)

Landmark strategy to improve early years and family services Parents across the country to benefit from new plan to drive up the quality and accessibility of early years education and boost children’s life chances.

The Gov’s Best Start in Life strategy is a welcome step towards supporting every child to thrive. With a strong focus on early intervention and accessibility which will boost children’s life chances, it's the start of an ambitious approach to early years reform. (1/3)
