Babcock International worked with Plymouth Argyle Community Trust to provide 200 hampers to local families in need at Christmas.
Included in the hampers were turkey, ham, fresh vegetables, Christmas puddings and more, to ensure the families enjoyed a festive meal at this time of year. Each family is also being given a slow cooker and cookbook, to provide a little extra support to these families for Christmas and beyond.
Babcock volunteers packed the hampers at Plymouth Argyle’s home ground of Home Park and two days before Christmas Babcock electric vans, drivers, and volunteers delivered the hampers across the city.
Dwain Morgan, head of business and impact at Argyle Community Trust said:
“We were excited to work with Babcock and are incredibly grateful for their support. To be able to support 1400 local people to enjoy a warm dinner was a humbling experience. These hampers were delivered to families that we knew were reliant on food aid and we hope that this hamper helped to provide some festive cheer.”
Brendan Staniforth, Babcock’s business planning director, said:
“As a major employer in the area, we have a very strong connection with our local community, and this has been reflected in the great response we’ve had from colleagues wanting to lend their time and support to this. It means a lot to be able to give some support to families in need in the areas where we live and work.”
