Your voice made a difference!
Thanks to your tireless campaigning – signing petitions, sharing stories, and making your voice heard – we’ve secured £30 million in funding for school breakfasts in the Government’s latest budget.
What does this victory mean?
- Primary schools can start trialling breakfast programmes ahead of a full rollout.
- Secondary schools in the most disadvantaged communities won’t suddenly lose their funding next summer and have to stop serving breakfast.
This progress is a fantastic step forward, enabling 3,000 schools to provide breakfasts next year because of your support.
But there is more work to be done…
20,000 schools will still have no support meaning millions of children will still start the school day hungry.
With your continued support and passion we’ll be able to make sure no child starts the day too hungry to learn.
We need to keep up the pressure as politicians discuss the details of the upcoming Children’s Wellbeing Bill to ensure that the full free school breakfast rollout is timely and reaches all primary-aged children across England, using a hunger-led approach.
