Banbury Charities supports free breakfast club for college students
11/05/2023
The club at Banbury and Bicester College runs each weekday morning during term time
A Breakfast Club, which provides a free breakfast to all students at Banbury and Bicester College, has received a charitable grant of £2,500 from Banbury Charities.
The launch of the Breakfast Club at the Broughton Road campus is part of Activate Learning’s ongoing commitment to support students and their families during the cost-of-living crisis, together with investing in their wellbeing to help them achieve their full potential.
The club runs each weekday morning during term time in the college cafeteria and is available to all students between 8.15am and 9am.
Cheri Ashby, Deputy CEO at Activate Learning, said: “We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Banbury Charities for their contribution, and for helping us provide free breakfasts to students at Banbury and Bicester College.
“We know that the cost of living can be a major barrier to education, and providing free breakfasts to our students is just one way that we can help to alleviate some of the financial burdens they face.
“The breakfast club will ensure every student at our college will have access to a nutritious breakfast every day, which is vital to their physical and mental wellbeing and can also help them perform better in their studies.”
Colin Clarke, Chairman of Trustees at Banbury Charities said: “At Banbury Charities, we are committed to supporting initiatives that make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and communities in Banbury.
“We are delighted to support Banbury and Bicester College’s free Breakfast Club initiative, which we believe will have a profound impact on the lives of its students.
“We strongly believe in the importance of equal access to education, and we are proud to be part of this project, which will help to ensure that every student at the college has the opportunity to thrive.
“We look forward to seeing the positive impact this initiative will have on the students and the wider community.”
