Kellogg's £500 boost for school breakfast club Kellogg's £500 boost for school breakfast club

KIDS and staff are celebrating after a school breakfast club won £450 funding from breakfast brand Kellogg’s.

Kings Ford Junior School was one of 600 schools across the country to receive the funding.

Karen Wallace, headteacher at the school in Gloucester Avenue, Colchester, said: “Breakfast clubs are a lifeline for many children but with budgets being tight they could sadly become an unaffordable luxury in future.

“The grant will really help our club and we’ll look forward to spending the money on providing breakfast for our children”.

Kellogg’s was prompted to launch the Help Give a Child Breakfast campaign after fresh national research showed 79 per cent of children are going to school hungry.

I really don't believe nearly 8 out of 10 children in this country are going to School hungry and without breakfast. Or for that matter that so many parents allow their children to go to school without food in their belly.

However, if the statistics are correct then its a very worrying trend that such a large proportion of parents are happy to rely on the school and companies like Kellogs to feed their children.

I personally don't eat breakfast. But that's my choice. My kids however had it every day. I'd like to know where they get these figures from? I don't know anyone who doesn't give their kids breakfast.
