Breakfast clubs
Published:  15 February, 2008

The School Milk Project and the Home Grown Cereal's Authority (HGCA) are working together to promote the benefits of milk and cereals as part of a balanced diet for school children of all ages at this year's Education Show at the NEC in Birmingham.

With more schools opening earlier to meet the needs of working parents, running a breakfast club is a good way of ensuring children eat a nutritious breakfast at the start of the day, preparing them for school lessons and play.

Roz Battye Market Development manager at HGCA says: "This is the first time we have exhibited at the Education Show and it was logical for us to team up with a natural partner such as milk in a way which will hopefully capture schools' imaginations.  Today children need more help than ever with their diet to ensure they stay alert and can function all day without getting too tired.  Eating a good breakfast will help achieve this."

Advice on how schools can start a breakfast club will be available on the stand which can be found in the Healthy Schools Zone, stand number HZ-G59.  Visiting schools will also be able to enter a free prize draw to win £50 towards starting their own club.
