**[Magic Breakfast](http://www.magicbreakfast.com/) has launched a campaign to help
it raise enough funds to feed all Year 6 children in its partner schools during 
SATS week.**

The charity currently provides free, healthy breakfasts to 23,500 vulnerable children
in 480 schools each school day, and is hoping to offer all Year 6s in these schools
a nutritious breakfast to help them concentrate during their exams.

The Fuel for SATS campaign launched on 11^(th) April, and as well as raising funds,
it aims to educate schoolchildren about why having breakfast is so important before
lessons and exams, and [teaching pupils](https://blog.curriculosolutions.com/what-our-career-development-programme-teaches-students-)
some healthy breakfast recipes.

Magic Breakfast has partnered with food writer and broadcaster Rosie Birkett, who
will be working with chefs from Dishoom, Foxlow and Bone Daddies restaurants to 
engage four Magic Breakfast partner schools in London and give special breakfast
presentations to Year 6 students in the four weeks leading up to SATS week.

Rosie Birkett said:

> “Every child has the right to eat breakfast. It’s so important to their health,
> both mentally and physically, and greatly improves their ability to focus and 
> learn, therefore giving them a good start not only to their day but in life.”

According to the campaign, it costs 22p to provide a healthy “magic” breakfast to
a schoolchild to give them “Fuel for SATS”. The campaign asks people to donate £
5 by text to enable the charity to feed 22 pupils.

Magic Breakfast is aiming to raise £24,500 during its campaign, with [Aspect Capital Limited](https://www.aspectcapital.com/)
match-funding any money raised.
