Making a difference beyond the meal.

Food has the power to bring people together, but our responsibility to the communities we serve doesn’t end at the plate. We give our food, time and support to causes that matter to our people and making a real difference to others.

Supporting causes close to our hearts.

From long-standing charity partnerships to projects nominated by our own people, we’re proud to support organisations working to improve lives across our communities.

Partnering with Beyond Dementia.

Since 2016, we’ve supported Wiltshire-based charity Beyond Dementia and the invaluable work it does for people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Our people have taken on everything from cycle challenges and skydives to local fundraising events, helping to raise more than £200,000.

Good food should never go to waste.

Since December 2023, we’ve worked with Felix to help turn surplus food into meals for people who need them.

Felix redistributes surplus food to thousands of frontline charities and community groups supporting people across the UK, including those experiencing homelessness, refugees and asylum seekers, children and young people, and older people. So far, we’ve helped support over 2000 charities and donated 143,000 meals.

Bringing people together over Sunday lunch.

Since 2017, our monthly Sunday Lunch Club has brought together people aged over 65 from our local community. Each month they come together to enjoy good food and good company completely free of charge.

Run by volunteers from team apetito, the club has served more than 4,000 meals and created a regular opportunity for people to meet, talk and connect.

Backing the causes our people care about.

Our Staff Foundation puts our people at the heart of giving.

Since 2005, team members have been able to nominate causes that make a real difference to others, from schools and sports clubs to community projects and events.

The Foundation has now donated more than £300,000 to causes close to our people’s hearts.

Making time to make a real difference.

Supporting our communities is about more than financial donations.

Our Volunteering Policy gives all of our people time to support causes they care about, using their skills, energy and enthusiasm.

Whether it’s helping at a local community project, supporting a charity close to their heart, or lending a hand at a community event, team apetito have been using their time to make a real difference.
