Supporting communities through COVID-19: A £30m package of support

In April 2020 we announced a £30m package of support for communities dealing with COVID-19. Building on our five-year partnership with FareShare and the Trussell Trust, we’re donating an additional £15m of food for distribution to community groups and food banks – on top of the £3m of food we already donate each month by redistributing surplus food. Since 2012, we have provided more than 50 million meals to charity groups. We are supporting the British Red Cross as it continue its vital work, and are helping more than 4,000 charities – working with some of the most vulnerable in society – through the first round of donations from our re-modelled Bags of Help grants scheme. We are also proud to partner with SalutetheNHS.org, donating all the food for one million food parcels for frontline NHS workers.
