The Family Business Festive Food Parcel (Yorkshire)

Take part in our 2025 charity initiative - a national campaign that will have a local impact in association with The Pantry UK.

Sharing food and nourishing others is one of the simplest, most powerful ways of showing we care and we are working with The Pantry to redistribute food to grassroots communities through their school network to feed some of the most deserving and vulnerable people across the UK.

Food is something that brings people together and over which memories are created, businesses discussed and plans nurtured. How often do we hear stories of how the business was always the focus of conversations around the kitchen table, the heart of the family and the birthplace of so many great British family firms?

We know from talking to the team at The Pantry that children are attending school hungry, some with packed lunched with leftovers from the night before and we want to make a difference and our vision for the 2025 campaign is for The Family Business Festive Food Parcel to bring the community together to celebrate as a force for good nationally and to make a tangible difference locally.

Join us at Sound Leisure, the last remaining manufacturer of traditional jukeboxes in the world and still family owned, for a coffee and a bacon roll, insight from the owner and a tour of the factory whilst helping us to make a difference.

Book your ticket today to join us and all that we ask is you join the campaign by bringing a food parcel which will be added to the regional collection and donated to children and their families in need via schools in Yorkshire. Our team will be working closey with Headteachers to identify families where we can make the biggest impact this Christmas.

Tinned produce, lentils, rice and basic foodstuffs, cereals and soups as well as some festive treats are welcome and will be collected on the day, sorted and packed into parcels and distributed well in advance of the festive break. If you are unable to join us, or would like to make a donation to the campaign, please do so using the 'ticketing option for a donation' and we will do a shop and include the items in the regional collection. Donations will be used to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables to add to the parcels.

As an organisation, if you want to get more involved such as by hosting a food parcel collection and bringing it on the day we would be delighted.

All of the items donated to our Yorkshire campaign will be used to support and make a difference to those in need across Yorkshire this Christmas.
