Suitable Projects
Funding is used to provide pupils with a healthy breakfast at the beginning of a school day, with expert support if required.
Application Process
Schools are invited to complete an expression of interest form, which can be found online. If the school’s records meet the eligibility criteria, their details are kept on a waiting list until funding becomes available.
Important Dates
