Beginning at Breakfast

A holistic approach to health and nutrition

Nutrition and physical health

The benefits of breakfast, starting the day with a good, nutritious meal and eating a balanced diet are well known. Making healthy choices offers great ideas for encouraging children and young people to eat well at your club. Balanced diet helps you understand what 'balance' really means and find out what different foods bring you.

Learning enhancement and cognitive skills

Remember breakfast clubs are not only a place for encouraging physical health. Making the case for breakfast offers ten instant reasons why breakfast is the most important meal of the day and links to in depth research and reports on the benefits of breakfast clubs and good nutrition.

What more could it be? 

The best breakfast clubs recognise their value in one more way. Breakfast clubs offer the opportunity to provide invaluable time and attention to the social and emotion health of members - often pushed aside in a world where time is in short supply. Our useful links page is a huge list of brilliant websites that will help you make your club active, safe and fun.
