North Belfast bakery starts breakfast club to help struggling families

The owner of a bakery in North Belfast was inspired to start a daily breakfast club to make sure no child goes hungry amid the cost of living crisis.

John Kelly is the owner of Use Your Loaf Pound and a Penny Bakery on the Antrim Road, and wanted to start a free breakfast club for school children as he said "the thought of kids going hungry makes me sick."

The club, which started on Monday, October 31 and will run for the foreseeable future, gives children the option of fruit, juice, cereals, porridge, cereal bars, as well as warm food including toast, to make sure they get a good start to their day before school.
