Warburtons’ Chairman Jonathan Warburton dropped into a Bolton school recently to donate the bakery’s one millionth product to community groups this year.
The millionth product was donated to Church Road Primary School, a stone’s throw from the baker’s flagship bakery. Warburton paid a visit to the school to mark the occasion and handle the delivery of products including Crumpets and Toastie Loaves for pupils.
The donation was made through the Warburtons Foundation, which aims to support families across the UK through community hubs including schools and food banks. The family business has been supporting charities since 1876 and has raised its donation target to 1.25 million products for next year.
Jonathan Warburton, CEO of Warburtons, commented: “Things are difficult for so many families at the moment and we recognise how vital it is that we continue to listen and act so that we can help play our part in supporting families across the country as best we can. We look forward to helping out the community in the years to come and meet our next target of 1.25 million donations in the next 12 months.”
