<p>The department is investing up to £26 million in a breakfast club programme, using
funds from Soft Drinks Industry Levy revenues. This money will kick-start or improve
breakfast clubs in over 1,700 schools. The focus of these clubs has been to target
the most disadvantaged areas of the country – including the Department for Education’s
Opportunity Areas – to help make sure every child gets the best start in life.</p><p>

barriers.</p><p> </p><p>We monitor management information from the programme on an
