Kellogs Breakfast Club Programme are offering a £1000 cash boost to Scottish schools. The money is for breakfast clubs which provide students with a meal before school starts.
The money can be invested in different ways, breakfast equipment, volunteer pay and learning materials.
The Kellogs programme supports 4000 schools across the UK with training, grants and food.
Research conducted by polling company YouGov showed 97 per cent of teachers believed breakfast before school is important to a child's wellbeing.
Chris Silcock, managing director for Kellogg’s UK and Ireland, said: “Kellogg’s has supported breakfast clubs in the UK since 1998 and we are delighted to be able to support schools once again through our grants programme.
“We are proud to have established thousands of breakfast clubs up and down the country that contribute vastly to improving children’s school attendance and attainment as well as alleviating hunger in some cases. It’s not just the children that benefit – it’s a lifeline for parents too.”
Schools can apply to the scheme online.
