Proper Pubs introduces foodbank campaign
Heroes of Hunger will be active in every site of the Proper Pubs estate.
The community, wet-led division of Admiral Taverns has launched an estate-wide fundraising campaign to support local foodbanks across the UK.
Heroes of Hunger will be active in every site of the Proper Pubs estate, which has over 200 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales.
As part of the initiative, each Proper Pub will be taking part in FoodFest and hosting a fundraising event between 6 and 8 September, coinciding with National Foodbank Day (6 September).
To collect as many items as possible to support their local foodbanks, each person that brings an item for donation will be given a raffle ticket – the more items each individual brings, the more raffle tickets they will be given – to be in with a chance of winning a bar tab at their local Proper Pub.
The right thing to do
"Choosing to support local foodbanks felt like the right thing to do given the current cost-of-living crisis that unfortunately is affecting many people across the UK," says Mark Brooke, managing director at Proper Pubs. "I hope that by running this fantastic initiative and supporting such a worthwhile cause will positively impact individuals and families across the UK.
"At Proper Pubs, we have always championed community pubs because we believe they are so much more than just a place to drink and I think this campaign stands testament to that. As always, I am so grateful to our fantastic operators and their communities who are, once again, coming together to make this happen."
