Moy Park Grantham launches £1 million community support fund

Moy Park has established a £1 million fund to support community organisations local to its operations across Europe.

Charities and support groups can apply for a grant from the Moy Park Community Support Fund which is aimed at supporting and enriching the lives of those in need across its local communities.

This new initiative builds on Moy Park’s range of existing and long-established community measures, including charity and educational programmes.

Launching the £1 million Community Support Fund scheme, Moy Park Grantham general manager, Andrea Carver said: "At Moy Park, our commitment to contribute to the wellbeing of the communities we operate in has always been at the heart of our business. We draw most of our employees from the areas surrounding our facilities and we see our communities as important partners. This new £1 million Community Support Fund will help provide extra assistance to our neighbours over the next 24 months.

“The food industry plays a vital role, keeping our supermarket shelves stocked and we are thankful to our local towns, villages and team members who are part of this important effort. Moy Park is a people focused organisation, and we invest heavily in development opportunities for our colleagues in the workplace. This new community initiative is a natural extension of this approach and we look forward to receiving applications from local groups.”

Applications to apply for a grant from the Moy Park Community Support Fund will open on the July 1 and can be made via Moy Park’s website at: www. moypark.com/community-support.
