Nairn’s Oatcakes has joined up with leading life and pensions company AEGON to provide a healthy start to the day for primary school pupils at Niddrie Mill and St Francis, as part of the AEGON Breakfast Club programme.

Nairn’s is the latest Edinburgh based business to support and sign up to the AEGON Breakfast Club initiative. The programme aims to make a difference to the lives of Edinburgh’s primary school children by providing a free breakfast where there is an identified need.

Based in the Peffermill area of Edinburgh since 1935, nairn’s is a stone throw away from Niddrie Mill and St Francis Primary Schools and has been producing simple and natural oatcakes since 1896.

To celebrate the partnership, children from the school were today treated to a special lesson at the nairn’s factory to see how oatcakes are made.

Nairn’s Director Mark Laing highlighted why the partnership with these local primary schools is important. He said:

“Nairn's is delighted to support this important new Breakfast Club at Niddrie Mill and St Francis. As leading manufacturers of healthy oatcakes and biscuits Nairn’s recognise the importance of a healthy breakfast to start the day. It helps the children to work and behave better throughout the school day.”
