Good to join Paul Brand on LBC to talk school breakfasts & highlight need for schools to be enabled/supported to adopt a variety of models, not just clubs. It will maximise funds & impact for pupils. 80% of Magic Breakfast schools offer clubs, 86% offer >1 model of provision



And we’re off 🌹! At #ScotLab25 and first up I’m proud to join a panel with Barnardo's Scotland and Magic Breakfast on the need to end child poverty.


Great start to #ScotLab25 by attending the Barnado’s Scotland and Magic Breakfast fringe - The impact of poverty on participation in Education. Great to hear from the Chief executives of these 2 charities and also Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP about the work@ScottishLabour is doing currently!


Glad to join BBC Breakfast to talk about benefits of free school breakfasts as Department for Education says 750 schools starting pilot. Magic Breakfast looks forward to supporting some schools on the scheme & sharing learnings so benefits are realised & no child is #TooHungryToLearn.


Great to see this issue being covered by national TV. It is critical that the government Child Poverty Taskforce and forthcoming food stratgy addresses this ongoing problem. The Food Foundation School Food Matters Bite Back No Child Left Behind Myles Bremner

Thank you for raising this, Helen Hayes 💙🌹 & glad to hear Bridget Phillipson’s response, emphasising need to test, learn, & listen to sector. Magic Breakfast supports >150 special schools; they offer unique challenges & opportunities for effective inclusivity & impact of breakfasts.


We're pleased to see these recommendations after Lindsey MacDonald (she/her) presented evidence to the committee last month. It is absolutely vital that the Children's Wellbeing and School's Bill meets the needs of #SEND students. This must include supporting mixed models of delivery beyond


A brilliant two days in Edinburgh with Magic Breakfast board members, colleagues, & visiting partner schools. Lots learnt, lots achieved, lots to do! A highlight for me was visiting Craigroyston High School, speaking with students who deliver their school’s breakfast provision.


Brilliant breakfast club visit this morning with Emma Lewell MP to Magic Breakfast partner school The Beacon Centre. Thanks to the staff, pupils & Eddie (🐶) for welcoming us so warmly. A school providing an inclusive soft start to the day with free, universal breakfasts.


Lovely local coverage from yesterday’s visit with Magic Breakfast 🥯🍏🥛🥣 South Shields MP visits The Beacon Centre to see the school’s breakfast club provision shieldsgazette.com/news/south-shi…



Lovely to be part of the celebrations and speak with Her Majesty about Magic Breakfast and how we partner with others to support children’s literacy at school breakfast time. Sharing the impact of our reading champions programme, volunteers and partnerships. 📖 🥣 🧡

This is fantastic news for children and families across England. Liberal Democrats have long championed extending free school meals to all those in poverty. This is a victory for campaigners. I hope Govt will now look at auto-enrolling ALL eligible pupils bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
