Breakfast Bar

We had noticed that a number of children were rushing to school without getting any breakfast. Since the Church Building is located on a main road close to Hitchin Girls School it seemed appropriate to provide a breakfast bar to meet this need in the community.

In September 2007 we opened the breakfast bar which provides a free breakfast (cereals, fresh fruit, toast and hot drinks) to secondary school children on their way to school in a safe environment. While we believed that there was a need for this in the community when we opened we had expected the uptake to be slow. However from day one it was clear that there were a number of children who found this a useful service.

Breakfast bar runs from 7.45am to 8.30am and is staffed by volunteers from the Church. As with all such groups all volunteers are certified by CRB as being suitable to work with children.
