Funding Opportunities
|
Funding for Primary School Breakfast Clubs (UK) Grants are available for UK primary schools interested in opening free breakfast clubs. The Greggs Foundation will provide an initial start-up grant for equipment such as chest freezers to store food items or toys and activities for the club. The average club costs £3,000 to set up and run for a year based on 65 children. Schools should able to attract adult volunteers to help run the scheme which must be able to show that at least 40% of their pupils qualify for free school meals and that the school serves a disadvantaged community. Payments are also made each term towards other food items and Greggs plc donates bread from the nearest shop. Although applications can be made at any time, there is currently a waiting list for funding. |

The funding could also pay for other items needed such as the hire of skips, pressure hoses or tarpaulins to secure exposed buildings. Any funding for projects that include football will need to be part of a multi-sport offering. Organisations should receive a decision within ten working days. |
