Magic Breakfast

About us

We ensure that no child in our partner schools is too hungry to learn by providing healthy breakfast food and expert support to help identify and reach those pupils at risk of hunger. A hungry child cannot concentrate so could miss out on half a day of lessons every school day if not given anything nutritious to eat first thing.

We work with over 960 Primary, Secondary and ASL/Special Educational Needs schools, plus Pupil Referral Units, helping to ensure that around 167,000 children start their school day in the best possible way. Our partner schools are in most counties in England. In Scotland the charity is working with 38 schools, reaching as many as 2,000 children in Scotland every school day. All children in local authority maintained primary schools in Wales are entitled to a free school breakfast.

We are also researching the need for our services in Northern Ireland.
