TEENAGERS wondering where life will take them, are being given food for thought.
Fourteen to 16-year-olds, who are being taught outside the usual school system, have enrolled in a breakfast club.
Businessman Peter Bell of Teesside based Bell's Stores is supplying food for 20 breakfasts a day for the next six weeks to youngsters being offered a bowl of cereal - and vocational training and academic courses with local colleges and training providers.
The club is based at the Beechwood Youth and Community Centre in Middlesbrough.
Organisers Middlesbrough Borough Council said research shows a healthy breakfast heightens concentration levels and improves behaviour
