This is a petition created by Monty Bourne, the course representative for 2nd year Theatre and Performance, with the backing of other course representatives throughout the UCEN City campus and The Arden School of theatre. We belive that the free breakfasts, which were available till 10 AM last year, are a vital part of our day for struggling students and busy lecturers alike. The UCEN leaders have changed the breakfasts to end at 9.30 AM, cutting them out of our mornings for many students and lecturers who do not need to be, and are un able to be in Uni until 10 AM. Please support this cause to bring them back by signing the petition below.

Commuting is already so expensive , would be nice to have a free breakfast before classes :)
Because not all students start early and would still like the chance to have a free breakfast.
Some people commute from far away (like myself) and sometimes trains can be later and mean it’s a rush to get breakfast! Like others have said, it’s your most important meal of the day!!!
convenience and accessibility to students unable to get in that early and unable to afford breakfast
Students whose lessons start at 10:00 are currently unable to access breakfast beforehand, meaning they miss out on the opportunity to eat or drink before beginning their studies. As a performing arts school, it is imperative that students are properly fuelled, as our work requires significant physical energy, concentration, memory, coordination and emotional engagement. Going without breakfast can affect energy levels, focus and cognitive performance, making it more difficult to learn.
UCEN Manchester should extend its free breakfast service until 10am to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to start their day feeling energised, focused and ready to learn. Many students face financial difficulties, particularly with the rising cost of living, rent, transport and essential living expenses. For some, buying breakfast every morning simply is not affordable, meaning they may attend lessons hungry or skip meals altogether.
I think free breakfast is a great idea especially for students struggling with money but as someone who starts at 10am everyday and lives a half an hour walk away from uni getting in before half 9 is impossible

I usually get in around 9:30 when the free breakfast is finished so to have some extra time to get some free breakfast, even a free cup of tea would be a great help for me
