Countless Tassie kids start their school day hungry.Â
Either because their household can't afford breakfast, they've had to rush out the door or they've simply eaten so far in advance of school as they travel great distances to attend.
The best start to the day
We all know the best possible start to the day involves a nutritious breakfast - shown to improve problem solving, memory, concentration, and anecdotally, the teachers find the kids are calm and ready to learn.
Variety School Breakfast Club enables schools to deliver a nutritious breakfast five days a week, to all students in their school - to eliminate the stigma of partaking.
We also ask schools to invite parents in for a cup of tea and a chat too, to help foster a sense of community.
