How you can help
How you can help (individual)
We want to ensure every single primary schoolchild has enough nutrition to be able to learn. Our work in providing food and nutrition awareness depends on our fundraising and education work. In this section we extend a warm invitation to your change activist – can you contribute, complement, advise, network or take any other action to help.
As an individual your support is invaluable in maintaining, developing and expanding the work that we do to support children in most need within and across London boroughs and in time across the UK.
There are a number of ways in which you can support Magic Breakfast depending on how involved you want to be with the work we do. Here are a few examples:
- Tell people about us. This is a great way to help, please spread the word!
- Make a Donation
You can donate on line at justgiving.com or simply write a cheque for the amount you wish to give. Remember, every single penny of the money you give goes directly towards funding more breakfasts for more children in order to give the right fuel for learning to these underprivileged children and helping them realise their potential.
If you are thinking of donating money, completing the gift aid declaration form will allow Magic Breakfast to reclaim an additional 28% of the value of your donation from the government. If you donate £100this means a total of £128 is channeled into a Magic Breakfast project.
- Find out what happens in your local primary school
What could you do to help. Do they have a breakfast club? Do they know about us?
- 20p per day provides a school child breakfast. Could your team, firm, street do groovy fundraising to get more food to more kids?
- Do you work with food in any way? Could you help us explain the benefits of nutrition to children (many of whom think cola and crisps = breakfast)? Would you like to be on the Community Leadership programme (Magic Outcomes) Would you like to donate healthy breakfast food to schools?
- Could you write to your MP to tell them about us?
- Does your trade union know about us? Contact us with their details and we’ll follow through – or just write a note to your local organiser telling them about www.magicbreakfast.com.
- Are you part of a faith community? Could your local place of worship be a place for us food activists to spread the word about the links between nutrition, good academic performance and life long health

- Remember to get a healthy breakfast yourself! Notalways easy. But it might be an idea. And if you have children, considerhow you could help them have enough fuel for learning at the start ofthe day. A banana, cereal box left out the night before (let us know ifyou want more ideas, we’re working on it!)
