Challenging times

Looking back over 2020, it was certainly a year that we’ll never forget. But despite the challenges faced, the renewed sense of community spirit gave us all some hope.

Along with our brand partners, we were able to show our support for essential workers by donating millions of snacks, drinks and self-care products throughout the year. It served as a token of gratitude for all that they do to keep vital services running during the pandemic.

The donated products gave staff an afternoon pick me up during a long shift, a speedy lunch, or a morale boost where needed!

Rewarding a workforce

As the UK continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s never been more important to reward the relentless hard work of key workers, whilst trying to spread a little joy.

With the needs of workers in mind, we have recently delivered Nivea moisturiser to keep hard working hands soft, KIND bars for a healthy energy boost, and Vin Crowd wine spritzes to unwind with at home. With more to come!

Morale boost
We’ve had such fantastic feedback from our network of HR reps about how donated products have lifted the spirits of NHS staff and other essential workers across many industries.

“The donations have meant a great deal to all of us and made a difference to the morale of colleagues, who have all worked hard in either delivering or supporting services to patients and families during this very difficult time.. it brought a smile to our faces during what would have been rather long and arduous days” – Chief Executive, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. 

A safer future
Whilst we all stay at home and hope that good news is on the horizon, our distribution teams will continue to deliver fantastic donations from our brand partners, ensuring they are sent in a COVID safe and socially distanced way.
