Grant News
The Greggs Foundation has made changes to its Breakfast Club programme. Now called Feeding Brighter Futures, the programme has been expanded to provide additional support through after school clubs and holiday club provision.
Each term, grants are provided to help schools offer nutritious meals and activities that help children overcome barriers and create new learning opportunities.
The programme aims to provide safe spaces where children can eat, spend time with friends, engage in learning, and enjoy fun activities before or after school and during school holidays.
Grants can also be used for start-up costs related to cooking equipment and cold food storage.
Schools should be able to attract adult volunteers to help run the scheme, which must show that at least 40% of their pupils qualify for free school meals and that the school serves a disadvantaged community.
The programme is temporarily closed to applications, but schools should check the Foundation's social channels for updates on when the waiting list will reopen.
One of the benefits of being in the Foundation’s school network is access to their hardship programme which supports families with small hardship grants. Additionally, all schools can access the Foundation’s free education programme, Agents of Change.
