A COLLEGE in Gloucestershire has received a £400 grant from a cereal giant towards a brand new breakfast club.
Gloucestershire College received the money from cereal maker Kellogg’s after completing an innovative online breakfast club training programme developed by Northumbria University.
The online course provides information on the benefits of breakfast clubs and healthy eating as well as offering helpful advice on planning, funding and marketing the club.
Pastoral support worker at the college Alison Allen said: “The funding is fantastic, as are the tips we picked up through the training course.
“Thanks to the breakfast club, we can provide students with a place to go in the mornings, improve their timekeeping, reduce challenging behaviour; and support students with difficulties at home.
“It’s encouraging to see companies like Kellogg’s supporting breakfast clubs like ours as it means we can carry on delivering the same excellent service to our students and their families.”
Kellogg’s has been supporting breakfast clubs for 17 years and has set up more than 1000 new clubs in some of the most deprived areas of the UK.
