Our team and couriers in Sheffield have donated another 330 food items to Rotherham Trussell Trust, helping the local community fight food deprivation.
In total, the team have proudly donated over 1500 food items this year. By working together, our colleagues are helping their local foodbank provide food essentials and some comfort to people in the community. Richard Firth, Service Centre Manager in Sheffield, commented:
“I have been truly amazed by the commitment to the charity by all colleagues and couriers. While attention to work is paramount, we have not taken our eye off the Trust's donations, something which I am immensely proud of.”
In 2020, over 1.5 million UK households reported food insecurity and needed the support of foodbanks according to the Trussell Trust. With an increasing demand for foodbanks over the past few years, each donation can truly make a difference for individuals and families in need.

As part of
our CSR commitment, we encourage our teams across the country to support their local communities by donating their time to our charity partners, independent charities and causes close to their heart, with the aim of creating a positive difference in the communities we have a presence in.
We are delighted to see our local teams playing such a key role in supporting our charity partners, especially with the cost-of-living crisis pushing more and more people to the doors of food banks.
