We support One Water. One Water delivers a truly ethical alternative to other bottled water brands. If you buy One you are changing lives. All profits currently go to fund water projects in Angola. 94% of rural households live in poverty and have no option but to drink water which may be contaminated. 51% of those living in poverty have to walk over 30 minutes for access to clean water. 1 in 4 children die before their 5th birthday due t preventable water related diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea. 69% of those living in poverty also lack access to improved sanitation. Keep buying One and changing the lives of these people.

Children in Need
Over the past three years we have raised over £300,000 for Children in Need with employees and customers participating in a wide range of fund raising activities like dressing up as chickens, sitting in a bath of beans and making and selling home made Pudsey Bear cookies. We even have our own Chef Pudsey who features on the fund raising merchandise sold throughout our sites

British Food Fortnight was conceived in response to the fact that, although there are numerous food initiatives, projects and events taking place across Britain, there was no overall flagship event to bring them all to the public's attention. It was held for the first time in Autumn 2002 at the same time as Harvest Festival, the traditional time for celebrating our food.
As a proud sponsor since its launch, the event has quickly become the definitive national celebration of British food, and the health benefits and pleasures of eating quality, fresh, seasonal and regionally distinct produce.
