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.
A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
Beloved late night Leeds cocktail bar The Maven announces permanent closure
Clementine Hall
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
