Charitable organisations we support

Supporting Our Communities Through Partnerships

At Finsbury, we believe in the power of partnerships to create meaningful change. That’s why we work closely with external organisations and charities that align with our values, helping to make a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.

We’re especially proud of our work with GroceryAid, a vital charity supporting people across the food industry. In recognition of our contributions, we were honoured with the Gold Award, reflecting our ongoing commitment to this cause.

We also collaborate with FareShare, the UK’s largest charity fighting hunger and food waste. By donating surplus products, we help create nearly one million meals each week for those in need.

Our partnership with Manchester-based charity The Bread & Butter Thing has also made a significant impact—supplying 23.4 tonnes of food, enabling 55,715 meals, and saving 58,525kg of CO2 in 2024 alone.

Beyond these national initiatives, each of our sites selects local charity partners to support annually, such as KidsOut, ensuring we make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our own communities. Across all our locations, we actively engage with both local and national charities, chosen by our teams, to make sure our support is meaningful and relevant. Whether through fundraising, volunteering, or long-term collaborations, we are committed to making a real difference—together.

Responsible for people and planet | Finsbury Food Group

Responsible Sourcing – For People and Planet

At Finsbury, we’re committed to baking a better future, not just better bakes. That’s why we prioritise ethical and sustainable sourcing, ensuring respect for human rights and the environment across our supply chain.

From avoiding deforestation to sourcing free-range eggs, we champion responsible practices that protect both people and the planet. Through efficient processes and eco-friendly initiatives, we’re shaping a more sustainable future—one bake at a time.

Engaging with Our Communities Across the UK

At Finsbury, we’re passionate about making a real impact in the communities we’re part of. One of our favourite ways to do this is by inspiring the next generation through school and university visits. We love sharing our expertise and enthusiasm for the food industry, offering interactive activities and career talks that spark curiosity and open doors to exciting career possibilities.

Beyond the classroom, we also bring people together through family fun days and community events, creating memorable experiences for our employees, their families, and our local neighbours. Whether it’s through education, engagement, or celebration, we’re committed to building strong connections and making a difference in the communities we serve.

I was blown away by your staff and the culture of everyone who works at your Whitefield site yesterday and again today – everyone is very polite and helpful, please pass on my thanks. I will be keeping in touch, and we will be collecting buns on a regular basis to help ensure people in need have a meal.
