A quarter of working families use breakfast clubs and on average they allow parents to clock up 93.6 additional hours of employed work annually. The findings come from YouGov research involving 2,000 working parents with children aged between four and 16. The study was commissioned by Kellogg’s, which provides grants to help schools set-up breakfast clubs.
Elsewhere, the research found that one in 10 parents who do not have access to a breakfast club say they have been forced to take a pay cut or put their career on hold as a result.
The survey comes after a report from Kellogg’s last year found that 28 per cent of teachers reported an increase in children being sent to school without a breakfast, and that 52 per cent of parents had less money to spend on food.
