Prager Metis UK’s Post

As a business we are proud to support a number of charities, and our partnership with FareShare UK is one incredibly close to our hearts, perhaps now more than ever as it works to strengthen communities across the country. According to the Food Foundation, 23% of households with children reported experiencing food insecurity in 2023, while 88% of charities receiving food from Fareshare saw an increase in demand in 2022. We love hearing how our donations have contributed to the incredibly important work they do in supporting the work of frontline charities and community groups – and are pleased to share our impact report from the last year. In 2023, our Lactalis group of companies in the UK donated a total of 107.9 tonnes of food, received by 1,759 charities and community groups: 🍴 480 working with children and young people 🍴 164 working with people experiencing homelessness 🍴 84 older people’s community groups 🍴 34 supporting asylum seekers and refugees This means over the last seven years, together we have saved more than 600 tonnes of product from waste, helping those in need as well as the environment. And we look forward to working with the team during 2024 as we work towards our next milestone of creating 2 million meals (after we hit the 1 million meal milestone last year!).

Last week, Alton’s New York office took part in our Pledge 1% volunteer day initiative, once again teaming up with West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) in Manhattan to help alleviate hunger in the city.    WSCAH’s crucial work ensures all New Yorkers have access with dignity to a choice of healthy food and support services. In support of the organization’s community-focused mission, the Alton team helped prepare 1,490 bags of fresh or shelf-stable food to serve more than 600 families in New York.     Each year Alton supports Pledge 1% https://lnkd.in/eW_ANjH, where we not only donate 1% of our revenue, but also 1% of our time to charitable causes.       Please join us in helping West Side Campaign Against Hunger with its impactful work by donating here: https://lnkd.in/d3eDAKJ   #community #socialresponsibility #corporatecitizenship #givingback #WSCAH #Pledge1%

Property management agencies have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact in their communities. By partnering with key charities, they can support efforts to improve neighbourhoods and address specific needs within society. At Someday Property, for every lease property signed, we donate a warm blanket and pillow to children living in poverty around the globe via Child Fund Australia.  At The Property Collective, we plant a tree for every property sold or leased through One Tree Planted. Whether you're looking to contribute to an important cause or donate time and effort to assist with local education or feeding programs, these partnerships can lead to lasting positive change. What are some creative community initiatives you're doing at your agency?

During our last community kitchen event, something remarkable happened. As we were distributing meals, we unexpectedly ran out of takeaway packs. Rushing to a nearby store to get more, we met Olamilekan a food vendor. Instead of accepting payment, Olamilekan chose to donate the packs to us. He was deeply moved by our efforts, something he had never seen in his community before, and wanted to be a part of it. Even if he was selling food , he didn’t feel uncomfortable about us giving out food around him. We salute Olamilekan’s generosity and his willingness to support his community. Now, imagine a world filled with more people like Olamilekan—where sharing and giving back are the norms, and everyone has enough to eat. This vision is within our reach, but it starts with each of us. Be like Olamilekan. Donate today, and together, we can make this a reality. #foodcliquesupport #sdg2030 #zerohunger #sdg2 #hungerheroes #endinghunger #foodsystem #charity #donation #socialimpact

Today I met with Cathy B., co-founder of A Good Thing (UK) and it was a reminder of how the simplest ideas are often the best. A Good Thing is a non-profit online platform that matches businesses that have things to donate with charities that can use them, reducing waste, saving the charities money and keeping those items in use for longer. It operates all across the UK, but is low on NI-based businesses just now, so take a look and sign up if your business has ANYTHING that could be of use to another organisation. All sorts of weird and wonderful items have been already saved from landfill via the platform – from theatre props, T shirts and stationery to aluminium cans, laptops and candles. Greetings cards have gone to a project for women in prison. Gorgeous organic blankets have gone to vulnerable new mums. Furniture and paint have gone to a community space. Babygros have gone to families of people affected by substance misuse. Bamboo poles have gone to a beautiful community garden. It takes just 30 seconds to create a free account at https://lnkd.in/e4AUD9m and then you’ll be able to start creating listings for items that you have to give away. What a great way to ethically dispose of unwanted goods and help out a charity at the same time! #agoodthing #circularity #donatetoday

It’s not all about profit... Food banks help families who are at a crisis point and need support through the provision of food, So, when Meon Valley Food Bank reached out for a new floor, we decided to build a new floor for the facility free of charge.  The project was managed by Richard Woods and we installed Silikal® R61 MMA Trowelled Quartz Screed. Unlike a standard commercial contract, this project didn't have the same level of pressure, but it did make me think about how short life is and how fortunate we are. Food banks are run by silent heroes who help bridge the gap between hunger and hope, they are a symbol of the resilience of our communities today. #charity #nonprofit #donate #love #fundraising #community #support #help #volunteer #giveback #covid #donation #fundraiser #ngo #education #dogood #children #socialgood #givingback #donations #philanthropy #hope #instagood #change #family #makeadifference #charityevent #helpingothers #nonprofitorganization #volunteering #foodprocessing #food #foodindustry #foodtechnology #foodsafety #foodtech #foodscience #foodie #foodtechnologist #foodproduction #foodprocessingequipment #safety #foodmanufacturing #agriculture #foodscientist #staysafe #healthandsafety #safetyfirst #toronto #healthyfood #safetytraining #transportationsafety #innovativesafetysolutions #safetysupplies #resinflooring #hyginesolutions #FoodService #resinflooring #mma #mmaflooring #foodindustry #design #foodindustrydesign #factorydesign #foodmanufacturing #foodandbeverage
