Blackpool was the first local authority in the country to offer a free breakfast to every primary school child
Blackpool’s free breakfast scheme is marking a decade of providing pupils with a healthy start to their school day.
Blackpool Council leader Coun Lynn Williams said: “We are so proud we have been able to run this scheme for the last 10 years, ensuring all of our primary school pupils are able to start the school day fed and ready to learn. As the cost of living crisis deepens it is more important than ever to make sure our young residents are able to learn and thrive.
He said: “I think the most notable feature of the school breakfast offer is that it has endured. It would have been very easy to offer it up as a budget saving cut, in any of the last 10 years – but the council has stuck with it.
