A reminder for secondary school pupils❗ The Winter Warmer Breakfast initiative has returned to North Ayrshire’s secondary schools. A free breakfast is being offered to all North Ayrshire secondary pupils every school morning between now and Friday 28 March 2025 - this includes either a hot roll or two of the following: fruit pot, croissant, cheese scone, pancake or toast. It is hoped the warm breakfasts will take some of the pressure off families when the cost of living bites hardest. Councillor Shaun Macaulay, Cabinet Member for Education and Young People said: “As a Council, we are fully committed to ensuring children and young people have the best start in life, building a fair and equal society. “The warm breakfasts are another small step we can take to help families as pupils return for the new school term. “As the Cost-of-Living crisis continues to put pressure on families, child poverty is more prominent than ever, so we recognise that we need to do all that we can to alleviate the stress for families. “A big thanks to our catering staff who have helped provide these warm breakfasts when the young people need it the most.” #fightingpovertyna #winterwarmerbreakfastna
