Investec extends its support of UK food banks for a further 12 weeks
Investec has been supporting food banks in the UK since the beginning of April and arrival of Covid-19. We’ve been delivering thousands of essential food items every week to 18 centres across the UK.

When we began helping with the vital work that food banks do, we said that if we needed to prolong our initial 12 week support plan, we would. And now, as the UK slowly starts to return to some sort of normality, we won’t forget about those who can’t afford to buy the basics.
We are pleased to confirm that we have extended our support of these food banks for a further 12 weeks.
In London, deliveries will continue until mid-October. This ensures that the food banks we're supporting in Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets remain fully stocked throughout the school holidays and past the point when many other donations may have ended.
Throughout this time we’ve been so grateful to all of our colleagues who have given their time to help ensure the deliveries are made. We’d especially like to thank Jay Hamm, Razia Nizamuddin, Simone Howard and the rest of the Sustainability team who’ve been the relationship managers for London.
Teresa O’Brien, Head of UK Sustainability
The desire to make a meaningful contribution to the world we live in is at the heart of Investec’s values, and underpins our aim to be a responsible corporate citizen.
