In the last six months 2.5 million children, just like Rowan, have been at risk of hunger living in households experiencing food insecurity, yet the Government still has no plans to make breakfast part of the country’s National Food Strategy. Join Arla Cravendale in #Backingbreakfast to ensure that changes for good.

Ensuring no child is at a disadvantage due to lack of food is critical. I believe they all deserve a healthy, productive start to their day. Breakfast provisions in schools guarantee that children are never too hungry to learn.
Finlay
The idea of a child going to school too hungry to learn is something I find deeply upsetting, and shouldn’t be happening anywhere, especially in the 5th largest economy in the world.
Sophie
Attempting to thrive in education while being deprived of something as simple as a breakfast is a barrier I am too familiar with. Breakfast is key for a child’s development, creating a productive start to a challenging day in school.
Finty
A nutritious breakfast removes barriers to education and gives children a chance to break out of the currents of poverty. School breakfasts act as an anchor to keep children in education and families in poverty afloat.
