Fundraising
Mobilising our networks to generate funds for local communities.
Grant Giving
Providing project and core-cost grants to charities tackling food poverty, job skills, and literacy.
Meaningful Volunteering
Making three paid days per year available to every Sodexo colleague to volunteer or fundraise.
Strategic Partnerships
Working with national partners like Trussell, FareShare, SSAFA, and Enactus to share skills and resources.
