At Affinity Workforce Solutions, we’re passionate about supporting communities and creating opportunities for young people to succeed. That’s why we’re proud to announce Magic Breakfast as our Charity of the Year for 2025/26.

 

Why Magic Breakfast?

Magic Breakfast exists to ensure that no child in the UK is too hungry to learn. Each school day, they support over 300,000 children and young people across England and Scotland by providing access to a nutritious breakfast.

This simple yet powerful intervention helps to improve educational ability, attendance, behaviour and wellbeing in schools located in some of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.

How Magic Breakfast Makes a Difference

 

Research shows that starting the day with a healthy breakfast has a profound impact on a child’s ability to learn:

 

  • Pupils who eat breakfast at school achieve, on average, two GCSE grades higher than those who don’t.
  • Free breakfast provision results in up to two months’ progress in reading, writing and maths.
  • Schools offering breakfast see fewer absences and late arrivals.
  • Teachers report improved concentration and classroom environment when pupils are properly nourished.
