Feeding Brighter Futures: turning “I can’t” into “I’m in!”

Helping more children feel included, every day

At Greggs, we believe every child deserves the chance to belong - to learn, to play, and to feel part of something special.

That’s why the support for schools offered by the Greggs Foundation is evolving.

The Feeding Brighter Futures programme builds on everything the Greggs Foundation has already built through 27 years of funding free school Breakfast Clubs, going further to help schools remove cost barriers so no child misses out on new opportunities because money is tight.

Turning “I can’t” into “I’m in!”

Too many children miss out on simple but important experiences and opportunities at school – available through breakfast and after‑school clubs, school holiday clubs or even school trips - simply due to the prohibitive costs.

Through the Feeding Brighter Futures programme, the Greggs Foundation fund places and programmes in schools that give children equal access to:

  • Nutritious food

  • Learning opportunities

  • Activities and experiences such as sports, hobbies and trips

When children feel included in new opportunities, amazing things can happen. They can develop confidence, be more engaged and ready to learn and see their own potential, alongside their friends.

Get involved

The brilliant thing about Feeding Brighter Futures is that small acts of kindness add up to a big difference.

Over the next year, we’re launching four flagship Foundation Fridays - where Greggs shops, colleagues and customers come together to support Feeding Brighter Futures:

  • Friday 6th March 2026

  • Friday 1st May 2026

  • Friday 31st July 2026

  • Friday 18th September 2026

We’ll be shining a spotlight on the difference your donations make in schools and invite you to get involved in a simple way - whether that’s adding a small 50p donation at the till or giving through the Greggs App.

And just like the ambitious bunch we are – we've got our eyes set on a £1 million goal for Feeding Brighter Futures by the end of the year.

Feeding Brighter Futures is powered by the kindness of Greggs customers, colleagues and communities right across the UK.

With your help, we’re breaking down barriers, opening doors and making sure more children can build their own brighter future.
