Glasgow Clyde College launches free breakfasts for students to help tackle food poverty

Glasgow Clyde College has launched a breakfast club for students across all three of its campuses in a bid to tackle food poverty.

Each of the 15,700 students will be entitled to toast/cereal and a hot drink between 8.15am and 9.15am.

The initiative, in partnership with Peak Scientific, comes as a result of the sharp increase in the cost of living. As it stands, one in seven young people go without breakfast and 20% of working-age people in Scotland are in food poverty, meaning they are unable to obtain an adequate or nutritious diet due to financial constraints.
