Working with our local community
In the summer of 2020, Marcus Rashford’s free school meals campaign highlighted the scale of food poverty in Britain. We immediately set up our Pay-it-Forward fund. We had been contacted by many of our customers, asking if they could buy boxes for others within the community. Through the generous donations to our PIF fund we were able to send our veg boxes to the people within the local area that needed a helping hand.
We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our customers so looked to the local foodbank networks to make sure the donations got to the people who needed it most. Since then we have delivered thousands of our veg boxes throughout the Cotswolds, working closely with the North Cotswold Foodbank Network and with Gloucestershire County Council on their HAF Project, to try and make sure that there are less people going hungry within our community.
