Giving Back

How we work with our communities

As a family business, we want everyone who works with us to grow and reach their full potential. Our commitment to give everyone a chance extends beyond our colleagues and into the communities in which they live. Strong communities foster a greater sense of belonging and a collective desire to help those less fortunate.

Our focus is on the next generation who represent the future of these communities. We aim to inspire wherever possible.

Our parent company, Vestey Holdings, directs a minimum of 1% of its yearly profit after tax towards helping the next generation realise their potential. This enables us to support our charity partners – YMCA England and Wales, Inspiring the Future, and Chance to Shine – with direct donations, support for fundraising activities, and volunteering of our time and skills.

Our colleagues are furthermore empowered to be a force for good in their communities: we support charities of their choice by match funding their fundraising efforts, and we give each colleague an additional paid day of leave every year for their own volunteering activities.
