Mon, 17 Nov 2025 'We set up a breakfast club for parents at our nursery'

Club offers £1 hot meals for adults with children at adjoining nursery to help them make friends.

* A breakfast club at Shirecliffe Community Centre in Sheffield provides a hot meal and social company to parents and grandparents of children attending an adjacent nursery.
* The £1 meal is funded by donations and occasional fundraising events, with no government grants or supermarket sponsorship.
* The club aims to provide both food and companionship for single parents who may otherwise go hungry or spend their day alone.
* Regular attendees praise the club as a social activity that has helped them build friendships and feel less lonely.
* One parent describes it as "like a treat" and says it's a highlight of her week, while another notes that it's not just about food but also about building a sense of community and family.
