Bakery giant Warburtons has launched a foundation that aims to help families with product donation, education, and financial giving. The Warburtons Foundation aims donate one million products by the end of the year through community hubs including schools and food banks.
This sits alongside a trial with the charity Magic Breakfast in which Warburtons will be supplying fresh bread to children in 30 schools. To help tackle the gap in food education, The Warburtons Foundation has developed a programme in partnership with education specialists, named “Bake the Most of Life” to support both primary and secondary schools with curriculum linked, free online resources.
The lesson plans and interactive content, designed to engage kids on healthy eating and food provenance, will be available for all schools to access, with a target of reaching 1.5 million children in the next three years. The Warburtons Foundation is also committed to funding local charities and community groups across the UK through its financial giving programme. Groups are invited to apply for grants from £400 up to £20,000 with previous support provided to projects including cooking classes for families with disabled children in West Bromwich through to the instillation of Beehives in Derbyshire.
