DG Partner's Appeal |
|
Every year, from 1st July, we have a new District Governor and they are supported in many of their duties by their partner. As part of this support, the District Governor’s Partner usually launches an appeal to benefit a charity near to their heart.
This year – 2022/23 – our District Governor – Lion Dr Chris Hibbert is supported by his wife, Lion Sue who is delighted to have chosen Magic Breakfast.
Lion Sue says, 'I have thought long and hard about which charity to support this year. This charity represents both Chris and myself. It also represents 2 of my passions and 2 of the Lions Global Causes - Youth and Hunger.'
A hungry child cannot concentrate. For 28p Magic Breakfast can give a child a healthy breakfast and ensure a child can concentrate during crucial lesson time in the morning.
Magic Breakfast began in 2003. Carmel McConnell was completing research for her book ‘Change Activist’ when she realised that thousands of children began the day without breakfast. This then meant they were not able to concentrate and achieve their full potential.
She took out a loan and created ‘Magic Breakfast’.
Today Magic Breakfast provides healthy breakfasts to over 200,000 children in England and Scotland during normal term time, in over 1000 primary, secondary and Special Educational Needs schools, plus Pupil Referral Units. A “magic” breakfast is healthy and nutritious. It is designed to give children energy, protein, vitamins and minerals, and is low in sugar, salt and fat. The food Magic Breakfast provides to schools complies with government school food standards and regulations in England.
They provide Quaker porridge; Nestle, Kellogg's and Weetabix cereals; New York Bakery Co bagels; and Heinz No Added Sugar Beans. Schools buy their own milk and spreads. They also give schools information on the ingredients and allergens in Magic Breakfast food.
In the academic year 2020/21 Magic Breakfast provided:
9,426,223 bagels
834,171 boxes of cereal
4.6 million servings of beans
4.5 million servings of porridge
126,040 litres of juice
Any monies raised through this appeal will go directly to Magic Breakfast. For a school in England to be eligible for Magic Breakfast, at least 35% of pupils should be recorded as eligible for Pupil Premium.
