People who have just come off the street usually have no money. Most have health complications, and some struggle with addiction. Funding for breakfast clubs at hostels starts their day with something positive.

At times, breakfast is the only food they have each day. Without your donations they would not have the chance to eat together, and many would be malnourished. Tea and coffee are available 24/7 to help people recovering from alcohol addiction, and to provide a social space for those who struggle to sleep.

In one Cambridge scheme, the breakfast club is a hostel staple. Each morning, a group of residents prepare the food together and are responsible for cleaning up afterwards.

The club provides a chance for residents to catch up with staff and build relationships. They can talk about upcoming hostel events and share ideas for further activities.

It is great for new residents who are getting to know people, but as many people already know each other, it is more about having some social interaction, which is very important for more isolated residents.
