We are investing £26 million from the Soft Drinks Industry Levy over the next three years to expand breakfast club provision, to be split as follows: £1 million in 2017-18, £12.5 million in 2018-19, and £12.5 million in 2019-20.

We will spend £22 million from the Soft Drinks Industry Levy on the Essential Life Skills programme, with a provisional split as follows: £8 million in 2017-18 and £14 million in 2018-19.

The remaining funds will be spent on relevant projects in the spending review period.
