Every child deserves a nourishing start to the school day. Yet thousands across Scotland still start their day, too hungry to learn. 🍽️

With the 2026 Holyrood election coming up, now is the time to push. ✍️ Write to your MSP today: https://utm.guru/ujiKL

We welcome the @departmentforedu.bsky.social announcement! 📢 500,000 children in areas of the highest disadvantage are set to join breakfast club programme next year.

But to deliver the Opportunity Mission, the Gov must include the Early Adopter Scheme learnings in guidance for a national rollout.

✉️ Together, we delivered over 1,300 messages written by pupils to 10 Downing Street. These handwritten notes described in powerful, personal terms how hunger can affect learning and wellbeing, and why access to a healthy breakfast should be available to every child.

These statistics are deeply concerning.

🍽️ Increased poverty means more children are too hungry to learn. And more hungry children means access to breakfast is needed more than ever.
