What the charity does

Magic Breakfast's aim is to alleviate child hunger and poverty as a barrier to education through the provision of healthy breakfasts to children across England and Scotland. This is being achieved through three key activities: food aid, building capacity in school communities to reach every child at risk of hunger and making the case for change to ensure permanent funding for school breakfasts.
