I wanted to share an update on the recent charity 5-a-side football tournament that Greencore participated in. While some of us might have wisely chosen to stay dry and warm, our unfit but unforgettable squad braved the wet field in Northampton, and against all odds, surprised everyone with their performance, stumbling their way into the quarterfinals.
But beyond the football achievements, I wanted to highlight the main purpose behind this event – the charities that we were raising money for. Greencore has donated £250 to Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT), our chosen charity for this tournament. BBOWT is on a mission to empower local people and partners to bring nature back. Their goal is ambitious yet inspiring – they aim for 30% of land in the region to be properly managed for wildlife by 2030. By supporting BBOWT’s mission through this donation, we are contributing towards creating bigger and wilder landscapes where both nature and people can thrive.
