Yes, sadly there are a lot of barriers to existing breakfast provision across the U.K. Mapping in 2022 highlighted the need to address an inefficient post code lottery that often excludes the children who need school breakfasts most.

This weekend, Magic Breakfast will be at Scottish Labour Party Conference.

⏰ Looking forward to speaking alongside colleagues at @barnardos.org.uk and @glasgowpam.bsky.social first thing tomorrow (Friday) morning.

Hope to see you there! A (magic) breakfast will be provided! 🥯 🥣 🍌 #ScotLab25

Agreed! 🧡🤞🏼

Sadly, still lots to do (secondary pupils, Scotland, ensuring policy effective, etc) but yes - a wonderful/positive step when this happens. Not sure written quotes convey much emotion either way, nor social posts! Would love to host you at a school in your constituency with mixed models, will email.

Agree on A & B. The article is more nuanced than headline & gives suggestions to maximise funding & impact.

80% of Magic Breakfast schools have clubs (offering vital childcare) & 86% offer mixed models (so complement club). It’s not either/or, it’s practical advice to make the pilot/policy succeed.
