Breakfast Club Family Grants Programme

 

As a result of the Blue Peter Mission Nutrition Appeal, ContinYou has a number of grants of £350 available to offer to breakfast clubs. These are intended as 'seed' funds to enable an existing breakfast club to develop a sustainable family dimension - this should include creating an aspect of the breakfast club that will support children and families who are hard to reach or particularly vunerable.

 

Grants are available thanks to the generosity of children who raised money during the Blue Peter Mission Nutrition appeal which ContinYou took part in, in partnership with the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens and Save the Children. You will find out more about this at http://www.mission-nutrition.co.uk/

 

How can you apply for the £350 grant? click here.

 

The deadline for the receipt of applications is 12 noon on Friday 26th February 2010. Grants will be awarded by the end of March 2010.

Breakfast Club Plus

 

Is your breakfast club something to be proud of? 
Do you know of a breakfast club whose good work should be celebrated?
If so, enter the 2010 National Breakfast Club Plus Awards, and your club could win £2,000.

 

Breakfast Club Plus, the partnership between learning charity ContinYou and Kellogg’s, are offering over £15,000 worth of cash prizes to the best breakfast clubs in the UK. 

 

The Breakfast Club Plus awards aim to recognise and reward the UK’s best breakfast clubs and highlight the unsung heroes who help ensure that thousands of children and young people and some adults across the country get the best possible start to their day.

 

In 2010, we are looking for:

• The best breakfast club in each UK country (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)
• The local authority who has done the most to support and develop breakfast clubs
• A breakfast club champion who epitomises what breakfast clubs are all about 

And this year there are many more opportunities for your breakfast club to win cash prizes.

 

The winner of each of the four country-wide awards will receive £1,500; the runner up clubs will receive £750 and 5 highly commended clubs will receive £200 each.

 

Our breakfast club champion will receive £2,000 to spend on their breakfast club, with the runner up receiving £500.

 

And our local authority award winners will receive a certificate and a year’s supply of breakfast cereal for 10 clubs.

 

Additionally, clubs in each category who reached the final stage of judging will receive a ‘finalist’ certificate to recognize their valued application.

 

How to apply 

 

The deadline for applications is Friday 12th February 2010.

 

This year you can register to receive the application form straight into your in-box, simply by emailing bcplusawards@continyou.org.uk
