Supporting the communities around us has always been an important part of who we are.
That’s why we’re proud of our ongoing partnership with The Feed, a Norfolk charity dedicated to helping people eat well, live well and feel connected.
Since forming a partnership with the charity in 2024, we’ve continued to work closely together; united by a shared belief that everyone should have access to nutritious food.
However, our partnership extends far beyond fundraising.
Food poverty remains a significant challenge across Norfolk, and The Feed plays a vital role in tackling this through a wide range of initiatives, including its Social Supermarket – which provides affordable food and everyday essentials to those who need them most.
Throughout 2025, our colleagues across Place UK came together to raise a record-breaking £3,000 for the charity, surpassing the £2,070 raised the previous year. And we’re all set to carry on the good work into 2026 too.
One highlight from our 2025 partnership has been supporting The Feed’s free fruit and vegetable initiative, ensuring members of its Social Supermarket could access healthy fresh produce throughout the month of August at no cost, thanks to a donation from Place UK.
As growers and ingredient suppliers, we’re able to support The Feed in practical ways too. We’ve donated surplus stock, including frozen beans and pulses, to support cookery lessons that help the charity’s members create nutritious, affordable meals. We’ve also worked with The Feed’s catering team for business meetings and staff events, and sponsored fundraising activities such as its Treasure Hunt.
Even our on-site shop for staff in Tunstead plays a part, with profits from fresh fruit sales helping to provide a continuous stream of income for the charity’s work.
We’re all proud to support The Feed at Place UK, and it’s the collective effort of all our colleagues, their enthusiasm and generosity, which has made this partnership such a success. Their efforts demonstrate the positive impact businesses can have when working with charities and local organisations that share a common purpose.
But our support doesn’t stop here.
We’ll continue to build on our relationship with The Feed and find new ways we can work together.
2025 was a record-breaking fundraising year, and we’re going to do all we can to surpass that in 2026 as we continue supporting this charity’s vital work across Norfolk.
