“"This is fantastic news and the incredibly generous donation will provide thousands more free breakfasts to our primary school children over the next three years. Local and national evidence shows the positive impact free school breakfasts and lunches have on pupils’ attendance, learning and behaviour. Through our work and the generous donations of people and organisations across the city we’re helping ensure that York’s primary school children have a great, healthy start to their school lives. I’d like to extend my huge thanks to Stockpaert for their support. The York Hungry Minds campaign is going from strength to strength and really is helping to change children’s lives."
“"Last year we arranged our 11th trip outside our country, this time to York, meeting Mayor David Skaith for the first time. We were able to discuss ideas for which good cause, as part of our Rotterdam student club’s 55th anniversary, we could donate to. It was therefore a pleasure to arrange an evening with Mayor Skaith and Council Leader Cllr Claire Douglas to confirm our £55,000 donation from our Trekpaert Charity Foundation to York Hungry Minds. We enjoyed a fantastic evening with speeches from David and Claire, and having heard much more about York Hungry Minds, our members were extremely proud of the choice Trekpaert made and could see the benefits of their donation."
“"No child should be sitting in a classroom distracted by an empty stomach. When children are well-nourished, they can focus on their learning and reach their full potential. I want to thank Stockpaert for taking the time to meet with me and for this generous donation, which will provide more than 21,000 free breakfasts."
