About Magic Breakfast
Children and young people should be hungry to learn, but 2.1 million children in the UK are at risk of hunger. That’s four pupils in every class of 30. Working with schools in disadvantaged areas across England and Scotland, Magic Breakfast makes a difference to over 350,000 children and young people every day.
As the UK’s leading school breakfast charity, Magic Breakfast is dedicated to championing and providing nourishing school breakfasts to help children and young people learn and thrive. They support primary, secondary, ASN / SEND schools, and pupil referral units across England and Scotland. A daily breakfast helps pupils feel included, equal, and focused.
The magic behind breakfast is so much bigger than the food itself.
Alongside their support in schools, Magic Breakfast drives long-term change through research, campaigning, and advocacy. The charity works with policymakers and partners to end morning hunger for good and create a future where every child is nourished, empowered, and thriving. One breakfast at a time.
About the roles
Magic Breakfast is recruiting up to two new trustees to join our brilliant Board of trustees and youth board advisors. This is an important (and exciting) moment for us as we take forward our long-term strategy, Nourishing Futures, work to create both immediate impact for children and young people, and shape longer-term change across the system.
To further strengthen the experience and skills of our board, we hope individuals will bring experience across these areas:
✅ Charity leadership, at CEO level
✅ Public sector funding or contracting
✅ Strategic AI adoption and implementation
We particularly encourage applications from:
People with lived experience of poverty, from minoritised ethnic backgrounds, and who are based outside London
