Grant News
The Greggs Foundation has announced that it has expanded its Breakfast Clubs Programme. Now called the 'Feeding Brighter Futures', the expanded programme supports UK primary schools in providing breakfast, after-school, and holiday clubs. This initiative offers children a safe space to eat, socialise, and engage in enriching activities, thereby enhancing their overall school experience.
Schools participating in the programme receive termly cash grants, allowing them to tailor food and activity offerings to their pupils' needs. Additionally, these schools gain access to the Foundation's hardship programme, which annually awards over £1 million in grants to support children and families facing financial crises. This support includes provisions such as food and clothing vouchers, beds, and essential home appliances like ovens, fridge freezers, and washing machines.
The need for such grants is underscored by the growing number of children experiencing food insecurity and the importance of providing equal access to extracurricular opportunities. By addressing these challenges, the programme aims to foster a more inclusive and supportive educational environment
Currently, the 'Feeding Brighter Futures' programme is running pilot sessions for after-school and holiday clubs within its network. Applications for broader funding opportunities are anticipated to open in 2026.
