Bradley Environmental Consultants are pleased to announce that they have partnered up with two local foodbanks to offer support in 2023.
Staff members and the management team have chosen the Batley Food Bank, which is local to the Wakefield Office and The Black Country Food Bank which is local to the head office in Halesowen.
Batley Food Bank, which was established in 2013, has helped 1000’s of people in need, by providing people of Batley and surrounding areas with 7-day food parcels, which can be collected from the centre or special arrangements for delivery can be made to those who are unable to visit the food bank.
The Black Country Food Bank was established in 2006 and helps vulnerable individuals and families in crisis through the provision of emergency food and toiletries supplies, while a longer-term solution is developed.
Both foodbanks have provided us with shopping lists of suitable goods that the staff can donate into collection boxes provided at each office, as well as QR codes and money collection pots to collect donations from staff and visitors.
Kim Racey – Senior HR Manager said “We understand that there is a need for foodbanks at the moment and we want to support our local communities. In addition to our continued donations we have also opened a “community pantry” for Bradley Environmental staff who may need support via donated food parcels, during the current cost of living crisis.”
Staff are currently donating food and money in exchange for the very popular Dress Down Friday’s and are planning some coffee and cake days, staff raffles, and other events to continue our fundraising efforts throughout the year.
Prior to the Easter Weekend in April, our HR Team met with the team at Batley Food Bank and took along with them, two large boxes of food & toiletries and a cash donation of £40.00, which was beneficial for the Food Bank as they often see an increase of visitors during the school holidays.
A visit to the Black Country food bank is being arranged to deliver a cash donation of £60.00 and other food parcels that have been collected by the staff at our Head Office in Halesowen.
