Help us to stop
the spread of hunger
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and something every person should have access to.
In 2020, we launched our You Buy, We Donate campaign to help stop the spread of hunger across the country.
Being a family-run brand, supporting our communities in whatever way we can has always been part of our core business values, and in 2020 we decided to offer our support on a national scale. We teamed up with national charity FareShare to donate our products to vulnerable people in local communities who really need it.
For every jar of our Thick Cut or Fine Cut Marmalade sold, we donated a single serve breakfast portion to FareShare, who then redistributed it between their 24 Regional Centres across the country to make sure it reached the people in local communities who need it most.
We managed to redistribute 524,706 breakfast portions to people in the UK during November 2020 to November 2021 and are pleased to continue providing regular donations of our stock to Fareshare in 2022.
