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.
