Supporting MK Food Bank A Collective Effort Across Local Business

This April, we’re supporting MK Food Bank as part of their Battle of the Brands campaign and anyone who knows our team knows we love a good competition.

So, we’ve joined forces with our sister company Facilities Management Solutions under the wider PGS Group, with one clear goal:

To collect as many food donations as possible for local families.

About MK Food Bank

For those who may not be familiar, MK Food Bank provides short-term crisis support and care for individuals and families across Milton Keynes.

The scale of that need is growing.

  • In 2025, over 20,000 food parcels were distributed across Milton Keynes and the surrounding area
  • That represents a 21% increase compared to 2024
  • More than 4,500 households were supported in 2025 alone

Emergency food parcels typically contain long-life items designed to provide meals for three days, offering immediate support to those facing unexpected financial difficulty.

MK Food Bank operates across 13 serving centres in Milton Keynes, helping ensure support is accessible to those who need it.

How We’re Making It Easy to Get Involved

We know that most businesses want to support initiatives like this, but time and logistics can often get in the way.

So, we’ve structured this in a way that removes as much friction as possible.

Throughout April, we’re placing donation crates in workplaces across the area. Each business hosts a crate for one week, usually in a staff kitchen or communal space, and invites their team to bring in an item.

We provide the poster, donation guidance, and handle all collections and delivery to MK Food Bank.

No disruption. No ongoing commitment. Just a simple way to contribute.

A Collective Effort

What makes this initiative powerful isn’t any single collection point, it’s the number of businesses taking part.

Each crate may only collect a small number of items on its own, but together, the impact builds quickly.

It’s a reminder that small, consistent actions across a community can lead to something far more meaningful.

Still Time to Get Involved

The campaign will run throughout April, and there’s still time for businesses to take part.

If you’d like to host a crate for a week, we’ll take care of everything, from delivery to collection.

Thank You

A big thank you to all the businesses and teams already involved.

We’re looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together.
