Commuters were greeted by TV stars Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks, dressed as festive elves at a Just Eat Giving Grotto, accepting donations for the food delivery platform’s Winter Meal Appeal. Passers-by were encouraged to donate what they could to the Just Eat Winter Meal Appeal, and in return Vicky and Pete gifted them with a meal on Just Eat.
The Giving Grotto was launched after research conducted by Just Eat reveals that despite feeling the pinch from the cost of living crisis, three quarters of people intend to make a charitable donation this winter, with over half of Brits motivated to do so as people are facing homelessness and hunger more now than ever before.
All donations at the Giving Grotto go straight to the Just Eat Winter Meal Appeal, which has pledged to give at least a quarter of a million hot and freshly cooked meals to homeless, vulnerable and lonely people this winter via its charity partners, Social Bite and FoodCycle.
