Datagraphic believes in going beyond business to deliver social value.

We believe in making a meaningful impact in the communities where we operate. Through strong partnerships with our clients and stakeholders, we actively support initiatives that create lasting social and economic benefits.

By aligning with organisations that share our values, we invest in programmes that enhance education, well-being, and community support. A key example of this commitment is our collaboration with Newcastle City Council and the Greggs Foundation.

Through this partnership, we have helped fund a Breakfast Club at Moorside Primary School. This initiative ensures that young learners start their day with a nutritious meal, setting them up for success in school and beyond.

The Greggs Breakfast Club at Moorside Primary School

As part of the contract with Newcastle City Council, Datagraphic pledged to fund a breakfast club provided by the Greggs Foundation at Moorside Primary School. The initiative creates a welcoming environment where students receive a healthy morning meal. The club not only ensures that children begin their day nourished but also offers a space for social interaction and engagement in learning activities before formal classes commence.

The Greggs Foundation Breakfast Club programme

Established in 1999, the Greggs Foundation Breakfast Club programme aims to provide primary school children with a nutritious start to their day. As of 2024, the programme covers over 1,000 schools, serving free breakfasts to more than 75,000 children daily.

Impact to deliver social value

The Breakfast Club at Moorside Primary School has led to several positive outcomes:

• Reduced food poverty: Can feed up to 70 children each day – many of which fall outside of free school meal parameters.
• Improved social interaction: Children can play with friends or siblings, talk to staff and enjoy games together.
• Enhanced learning readiness: Students arrive at class more focused and prepared to learn.
• Improved attendance: The availability of breakfast has contributed to better school attendance rates.
• Supports parents: Parents are able to drop children off with peace of mind and without childcare costs. This supports their employment opportunities whilst their children are safe.
• Increased community engagement: The initiative has fostered stronger connections between the school, parents, and the local community.

Conclusion

Datagraphic’s partnership with Newcastle City Council and the Greggs Foundation exemplifies how a business can deliver tangible social value. By collaborating to invest in the well-being of students at Moorside Primary School, Datagraphic is helping to build a brighter future for the Newcastle community.
