On Friday 4th September 2026, we took part in National Food Bank Day. Employees across our Beckenham, London, Cambridge and Colchester offices got involved, with donations passed on to local food banks working together with the Trussell Trust: Bromley Borough Foodbank, Westminster Foodbank, Cambridge City Foodbank and Colchester Foodbank. Supporting our local communities in this way means a great deal to us, and it was brilliant to see everyone take part.

Donations included tinned food, cooking sauces, sweets, chocolate, rice, fruit juice and jam.

Why this matters to us

As an Employee Ownership Trust, Potter Raper is built around the people who work here and the communities we work in. Supporting National Food Bank Day was a small, practical way of putting that into action. Food insecurity affects people in every town and city, and local food banks rely on donations like these to keep helping families through difficult periods.

This sits alongside our wider commitment to social value, from working with people and for people, to valuing the communities.
