Magic Breakfast launches fuel for SATS campaign
Charity Magic Breakfast, food writer Rosie Birkett and chefs from Dishoom, Bone Daddies and Foxlow restaurants will give Year 6 pupils from four Magic Breakfast partner schools in London a special breakfast presentation in the four weeks leading up to SATS week.
Carmel McConnell, founder and chief executive of Magic Breakfast, said: “We know that a hungry schoolchild simply cannot concentrate. Our school partners tell us that SATS exam time brings that problem into even sharper focus.
“We would love every child to have a good chance of exam success and are so grateful to Rosie Birkett and all our campaign supporters for helping us reach more children with this SATS’ week pledge. Thank you.”
The ‘Fuel for SATS’ campaign is designed to support children who would otherwise arrive at school hungry or malnourished and find it difficult to concentrate on exams, putting them at a disadvantage to children who have had a good breakfast.
During SATS week, Magic Breakfast would like to be able to give a free, nutritious breakfast to all Year 6 students in all of its partner schools.
The charity is aiming to raise £24,500 during its 'Fuel for SATS' campaign. Aspect Capital Limited is match-funding any money raised.
