Thanks for taking the time to visit the Savills Southampton Office's JustGiving page.
This year, we have decided to support City Catering Southampton as our chosen office charity, who do wonderful work in the local community providing children and vulnerable adults with delicious and nutritious meals. Please see below for a bit more information about City Catering Southampton and their various initiatives:
"At City Catering Southampton, we believe that access to good food is a right and not a privilege. Therefore, we exist to make a tangible nutritional difference in people's lives. We do this through serving School Food Plan and Food for Life compliant meals in 46 of Southampton's schools whilst also delivering hot, nutritious care meals into the homes of vulnerable and elderly adults across the city. We are supported by a team of approximately 250 employees, and a small volunteer team who specifically support some of our charitable initiatives. Together, we stand by our moto of #FoodForGood.
As advocates for access to good food, we are acutely aware of the challenges many face in the school holidays where the risks of food poverty increases. As a result, we work hard to support the increasing need for holiday provision for our Member schools. Our Lunch Crowd initiative sees us opening up school kitchens to serve family meals to those most in need, for free, supporting community or charity run clubs. For this service to run, we are reliant solely on funding, grants and donations. Alongside this, in 2019 we launched and now facilitate a Holiday Provision Steering Group to bring together likeminded charities, organisations and individuals in order to improve and facilitate food and activity holiday provision for the local community."
For our first fundraising event, the Savills Southampton Office virtually walked/ran/cycled over 2,687.13 miles in March, as we visited some of our project sites throughout the UK. This was to tie in with City Catering's Walk for Food Insecurity Awareness campaign, which you can read more about here.
For our latest fundraising event, we have put together a recipe book which you can read more about in our update below.
Please will you sponsor us and help us raise money for this wonderful cause.
Thank you in advance,
Savills Southampton
