Schools on the Isle of Wight are in with the chance to win £1,000 for their breakcast club by entering the annual Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards.
Any school with a breakfast club can enter the awards, with 1 club from each region of the UK set to win £1,000 for its club and a Grand Winner will receive a breakfast club makeover worth up to £5,000. Winners will also be invited to attend an awards ceremony in The Houses of Parliament.
Breakfast Clubs provide many benefits; from improved attendance and attainment to tackling hunger in the morning and providing pre-school care.
These awards champion the people and activities that make breakfast clubs fantastic – from inspirational volunteers to invaluable extra learning sessions.
A specialist panel of judges will hand-pick the entries and the winners will be announced on 30th October 2017.
Following a recent report by Kellogg’s, which highlighted a potential funding crisis across the UK for school breakfast clubs, Kellogg’s managing director Dave Lawlor, said:
“Great progress has been made since the 1990s to increase the number of schools offering pupils a safe and fun environment that provides a nutritious breakfast.
“That’s why each year the Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards celebrate the fantastic people who make these clubs happen every day in schools up and down the country.

We will continue to support breakfast clubs because we believe that every child deserves the best start to the day.”
Kellogg’s has supported breakfast clubs for the last 19 years and offers funding, food and training to 3,000 clubs across the UK.
