Greggs start new breakfast club at Leeds primary school for 65 pupils

Greggs has opened a new Breakfast Club at a Leeds primary school offering 65 children a free, healthy breakfast before school.

A new breakfast club at Fieldhead Carr Primary School in Leeds will offer 65 children a free, nutritional breakfast before school to help pupils be prepared for the day ahead.

The new club is part of the Greggs Foundation’s Breakfast Club, which launched in 1999 and has grown to serve free breakfasts to over 49,000 children every school day, at over 770 clubs across the UK. So far, the programme has served over 58 million free meals to school children.

Breakfast options at the club 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 chat and engage with school staff before their classes begin.

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.”

Customers at Greggs stores nationwide can now also donate a free breakfast to a child in need at one of Greggs’ Breakfast Clubs at any time of year - customers can tell a team member they want to “donate a breakfast for 25p” when they’re making a purchase to donate to the fund.
