Our Vision...
is to assist the Principals in low decile schools to remove any obstacles that restrict the students in fully participating in the school curriculum.
“Now our students have such a sense of belonging and pride and are achieving so much more than we ever thought possible.”
Jono Hendricks, Principal, Glen Innes School
What do we do?
While the title would suggest we just provide cereal and toast for hungry kids, Breakfast Club is so much more than that.
Who are we?
Breakfast Club was founded by Steve Farrelly, an ex police officer with a soft spot for cheeky, hungry kids.
What people say
As we have grown different people have noticed what we are doing and started writing some pretty cool things about us.
Want to help?

September Newsletter
As per usual, I would like to start off this Breakfast Club newsletter with an apology, as there has been a delay in sending this to our database! As you will read in the newsletter we have been extremely busy and couldn’t be more ecstatic about this. It is also encouraging to see that our Breakfast Club Facebook page 1142 likes. A big thanks to everyone for your incredible support!
Good As Gold
Nominator Jenny Alison writes: “Steve is a retired policeman, who is still serving the community by voluntarily supporting at least four low decile schools in East and South Auckland. His aim? To remove any obstacles that prevent kids from succeeding.
Christmas Store
This Christmas, on the 23rd of December 2015 we are creating a Christmas Store (last Christmas we fed 600 at our Christmas Banquet but we are too large to continue with Banquets)
October Update
October was a great month for Breakfast Club… we had two phone calls from Foodbanks that we support, saying that they were both out of rice and one of them needed cereal.
100 Hams For Christmas
On the 23rd of December 2015 we are turning the Glen Innes School Hall into a Mini New World and having the Social Workers at our 5 schools invite up to 100 families to come and be blessed with food from Christmas Box Hampers; Hubbard’s Cereal; New World Eastridge Grocers and Hams; Gatting’s Caterers Dessert Hampers.
Sports Academy
Most of our activities are happening in the area of Sports… and we are blessed to have BLK Sport, Shoe Clinic and the two Rotarys (Auckland East and Epsom) on board. Both of the boys at St Kentigern’s College are fully kitted out with running shoes, rugby boots and training gear from our sponsors… and of course food from New World Eastridge.
