An education charity, which provides breakfast for hundreds of thousands of school children every day across the UK, has said the cost of living crisis has prompted a higher than ever demand for their services.
Magic Breakfast works with 56 schools across the East Midlands, providing breakfast options including porridge, cereal and bagels for 11,500 pupils before each school day.
Schools pay a fixed membership fee to the charity for the food provided, which makes it more affordable than buying it directly, and children receive it for free.
