Our Impact

We recognise the profound importance of trees in enhancing community well-being, both locally and globally. Trees play a crucial role in mitigating climate change, purifying the air, and supporting biodiversity, which benefits communities worldwide. Additionally, trees provide shade, reduce noise pollution, and enhance the beauty of urban areas, contributing to a higher quality of life for residents. By supporting the International Tree Foundation, we’re not only investing in the health of our environment but also in the vitality of communities near and far.

Supporting grassroots community engagement in tree planting, our work brings to life small-scale projects across the country. Over the last 20 years, the programme has supported more than 70 small-scale projects, from community orchards to native woodland planting.

Reducing Waste with Marcus Rashford MBE

We’re also committed to reducing our waste and ensuring that our business practices positively impact the community and the environment. That’s why, alongside our tree planting initiative, we actively support FareShare, a charity Supported by MBE awarded global football sensation Marcus Rashford. Each week, we donate our excess produce to FareShare as well as contributing to the Fareshare Christmas Appeal. These contributions go towards aiding the nearly 8,500 frontline charities and community groups across the UK. By diverting this surplus food and redirecting it to those who need it most, we’re not only minimising waste but also making a tangible difference in the fight against food insecurity.
