One in five parents send children to school breakfast clubs due to cost-of-living crisis

More than a fifth of parents (22%) admit they send their child to a breakfast club at school – as almost one in ten (8%) can't afford to buy what their kids want to eat at home.

A poll of 1,228 parents found that 18% sometimes send their children to school without giving them breakfast at home – as 19% of those are in a rush to get out the door.

One in six (16%) say they don't have time to make breakfast in the morning, with 51% putting this down to needing to get to work earlier.
