A new breakfast club run by Greggs at a Leeds primary school will offer 65 children a free, healthy breakfast before school.
The infamous British bakery chain, Greggs, has opened a new Breakfast Club at Fieldhead Carr Primary School in Leeds.
The club offers 65 children a free and nutritious breakfast before school to help pupils feel nourished and prepared for the day ahead.
The club is part of Greggs Foundation's Breakfast Club which launched back in 1999 with the aim to provide breakfast to as many children as possible.
The incredible club has grown to give free breakfasts to 49,000 children every school day at over 770 clubs across the UK.

To date, the programme has served over a whopping 8 million free meals to school children.
Lynne Hindmarch, Breakfast Club Manager for the Greggs Foundation commented: “No child should ever start their day without breakfast, which is why we’re delighted to be opening a new Breakfast Club at Fieldhead Carr Primary School.
“Through Breakfast Clubs such as this, we’re able to support over 49,000 children each day nationally, and new openings like the one at Fieldhead Carr Primary School are helping us to continue heading towards reaching our target of serving 70,000 breakfasts each school day by 2025.”

The children can choose from a wide range of options to kick start their way. Including toast, low sugar cereal, fruit, yoghurt, juice and milk. As well as providing a healthy and substantial morning meal, the club aims to encourage children to chat and socialise with staff before their school day begins.
Greggs customers nationwide can now also donate a breakfast to a child in need for just 25p, simply say “donate a breakfast for 25p” when making a purchase.
With National Curry Week just around the corner, new research has revealed which UK cities like their food with a kick.
The outcome? Leeds has come out firmly on top.
The research, carried has been out by Britsuperstore, analysed TripAdvisor data to find the UK cities with the highest concentration of restaurants serving some of the world’s most flavour-packed cuisines, including Indian, Thai, Caribbean, Mexican, Korean and Ethiopian food.
And it seems us Leeds lot aren't afraid of a little bit of spice, with the city boasting 51.33 spicy-cuisine restaurants per 100,000 people. Now that's a lot of spice.

That puts Leeds ahead of Bath and Oxford, which take second and third place respectively, as the cities with the highest concentration of restaurants serving cuisines known for their fiery flavours.
At the other end of the scale, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne has been named the UK’s mildest city, with just 7.14 spicy-cuisine restaurants per 100,000 people.
The top 10 spiciest cities in the UK are:
Leeds
Bath
Oxford
Edinburgh
Bristol
York
Cardiff
London
Swansea
Sheffield
And we can't say we're particularly surprised, as here in Leeds our diverse food scene is very impressive indeed. From iconic Indian street food at Bundobust to Kerala-inspired small plates at Kerala Canteen, there's a spicy dish for everyone to enjoy in and around the city.
So, whether you're someone who orders Extra Hot at Nandos or prefers to keep things firmly on the milder side, Leeds looks like the place to be when it comes to getting your spice fix.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
Clementine Hall
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
