The Keinton Mandeville Big Breakfast is a key community event and is held in our Village Hall each October. It combines all the pleasure of eating a delicious cooked breakfast in the company of family, friends and fellow villagers with raising much-needed funds for a range of local organisations and our three chosen national charities. Last year was the 20th year of The Big Breakfast and we were able to disburse £5,750 after the event…thanks to the generosity of the community who bought raffle tickets, provided raffle and tombola prizes and ate breakfasts and cream teas!

Unfortunately, none of this can take place this year owing to the COVID pandemic and the need for us all to observe the rules and regulations associated with it. At the same time, the Big Breakfast Committee is aware that the needs of those supported have not gone away...indeed they have probably grown larger. We all feel so strongly that we still want to do something to help and so we have decided to put together some ideas to try to fundraise in the absence of a real breakfast. This page is one result of this decision.

Please do consider helping our fundraising cause if you possibly can. All of the money you donate will be distributed between local groups and our chosen national charities… Bloodwise, Save the Children and WHY (We Hear You). We appreciate that this is not the same as sitting down with family and friends for breakfast in the village hall but every penny that you donate will help and support our community groups and chosen charities to thrive.

Instead of simply making a donation why not arrange a breakfast online? Or maybe meet with family or close friends to share a breakfast together (but please remember to adhere to all current Government guidelines) and donate something to the Big Breakfast fund?

Thank you for anything you feel able to do!
