This Christmas, the gbp foundation is making donations to 12 good causes and charities that are close to the hearts of our staff.
On the fourth day of gbp’s 12 days of Christmas giving, a donation of £200 is on its way to SHARE, a charity started in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, giving food and necessities to those that need it.
gbp’s Managing Consultant, Tamsyn Flynn, nominated the cause for a donation as it provides invaluable support for the local community. A group of volunteers collect food - that would otherwise go to waste - and make it available at a community hall for people in need to collect for free, in a bid to mitigate food waste.
SHARE now saves over 30 tonnes of food waste each month. The donation will go towards funding the charity to enable them to keep doing what they are doing and helping them reach as many people as they can who may need their help.
We hope that the donation makes a difference to those in need at this time of year.
