<p>The funding announced on the 19 March 2018 reflects that stated in the breakfast
club tender, which was published on the 23 October 2017. We are 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 1,770 schools,
with a focus on increasing provision for disadvantaged pupils. This investment will
be targeted at the most disadvantaged areas of the country – including the Department
for Education’s Opportunity Areas. Further details about the funding split over the
duration of the programme will be available in due course. We do not have an estimate
of the number of children that will benefit from this funding as we do not yet know
which schools will participate in the programme.</p><p> </p>
