About Fuel For Schools

Fuel for Schools is the brainchild of friends Paula Pool, a local PT, and Demelza Gardem, a local schoolteacher. The charity was formed in 2015 to support Townsville primary school students with school resources at the beginning of the school year. In 2020, pre COVID19, it evolved further to include supporting high school students in their daily nutritional requirements. We were stunned to find out that 1 in 7 students do not eat breakfast. Immediately, our concern turned to the nutritional welfare of school children, cognitive functions, and mental health. Schools do not have breakfast programs per say, nor funding. The Fuel for Schools charity was borne out of necessity opposed to opportunity.
