Are you planning an event for Breakfast Week from January 25 to 31, as featured in last Friday’s Menu section of the Advertiser?

There are lots of resources on the Breakfast Week website if you want to run an event and, if you do, please consider using it to support Big Breakfast +.

For over 20 years Big Breakfast + (Charity number: 1063917) has been providing a cooked breakfast in central Swindon to those in need across the borough, and helping those who are without accommodation to engage with outreach workers from other support services.

We rely entirely on voluntary funding and are open from 7am-9 am, six days a week, 52 weeks a year, except the few days while Christmas Care is running.

Swindon people are very loyal in their support for Christmas Care (and they in turn generously support us) but it is vitally important that we continue to help the homeless throughout the rest of the year, especially now as temperatures plummet.

We serve from 12 to 40 (average 25) full English breakfasts daily. It is not only the breakfast that is important but the fact that our clients can order precisely what they want when they have little choice in the rest of their lives. BB+ bridges a gap not covered by other agencies.

The Advertiser reported on January 6 that we had launched our Sponsor a Breakfast campaign.

Breakfast Week is a great opportunity to learn more about us and to pledge your support to our campaign.

Email us at bigbreakfastplus@gmail.com or text 07971 419360 for further information and/or to register your support. Thank you.
