Details

The Bright Start Breakfasts fund will build on existing levels of breakfast provision and expand access to breakfast clubs across Scotland to primary school children and children who attend special schools.

Funding will support existing breakfast clubs to expand their provision, as well as support the establishment of new breakfast clubs where needed in the 2025/26 academic year. Funding will be prioritised to areas where access to a breakfast club is needed, and for clubs that support access to families on the lowest incomes, or most at risk of living in poverty, providing access regardless of their ability to pay.

Eligible activities for funding include:

• Setting up and establishing a new breakfast club
• Increasing the running time of an existing club
• Increasing the number of places available at an existing club
• The addition of childcare and/ or activities, where currently only breakfast food is provided
• Increased resources to support expansion, i.e., staff, equipment

The Fund will run from August 2025 to June 2026.
