A new Breakfast Club has opened at Rigside Primary School near Lanark, thanks to the Greggs Foundation.
The new club will offer 35 children a free, nutritional breakfast before school to help prepare the youngsters for the day ahead.
Breakfast offerings will include toast, low sugar cereal, fruit, yoghurt, juice, and milk.
As well as providing a nutritious morning meal, the club aims to encourage children to enjoy themselves and engage with school staff and the education system.
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 Rigside Primary School.
“Through Breakfast Clubs such as this, we’re able to support over 40,000 children each day nationally, and new openings like the one at Rigside Primary School are helping us to continue heading towards reaching our target of serving 70,000 breakfasts each school day by 2025.”
Launched in 1999, the Greggs Foundation’s Breakfast Club programme has grown to serve wholesome, free breakfasts to around 40,000 children every school day, at over 700 Clubs across the UK.
