Heather Murphy, ESG manager for Kellogg UK, said: “We’ve been supporting breakfast clubs in the UK for 25 years, so we understand the impact being hungry can have on children – from their ability to learn to their mood. Providing provision for children and families during the school holidays is incredibly important, and we’re pleased we can support HAF and FareShare by donating our food.’’
