Dear friends and family,

If you would like to give us a wedding gift it would mean so much to us if you would support our chosen charity Magic Breakfast. It is a small registered charity that fights child hunger through breakfast clubs and delivering free breakfasts (bagels, cereal, fresh juice and porridge) to thousands of primary children in the UK particularly our inner cities.

Magic Breakfast believes that a hungry child cannot concentrate, as they can be restless, disruptive and lethargic.Giving them a healthy start to the day will allow them to make the most of their education and improve their future.

£3.50 would give a child a  breakfast for a month, £42 for a year and £2000 would support a breakfast club for a year.

Many thanks, Alan and Sam

A teacher’s view

These kids only have one chance at childhood, and one chance at education. Education is going to be their best way out of poverty. By feeding and valuing them, Magic Breakfast makes a practical difference to these children every single day”- Mei Yi Choi, De Bohun Primary School, Enfield, London
