Community
Giving
Each year
We give a proportion of our profits to charity. These are usually local charities who are dealing with problems such as poverty and homelessness in Brighton or environmental charities who are working to protect our Sussex wildlife.
We are also committed to working within the community by sponsoring many of the wonderful local schemes which are flourishing under initiatives such as the Brighton and Hove Food Partnership. We also take responsibility for our unsold food, donating bread, fruit and veg and other items to homeless shelters and local intercepted food projects.
Throughout the year we also donate gift vouchers and prizes for local Schools and Charities holding fundraising events.
