Donating £4m of products to frontline NHS staff and other key workers

Since the start of the COVID19 crisis we have created a team to help us manage requests to support people on the frontline or those most at risk from this current situation.

As part of our Nestlé UK & I wide support, we are donating around £4m of products to frontline workers in the NHS as well as other key workers, vulnerable people and foodbanks to help them through these tough times. Amongst the products provided are almost a million cups of coffee, more than 250,000 bottles of water and nearly three million confectionery products.

Through working proudly with our customers across the out of home channels, we are able to provide support to get these supplies to those who need it.

Over the Easter period, we also delivered thousands of Easter Eggs to frontline key workers including NHS, Ambulance and Police services as a thank you for all their hard work. And to help patients keep in contact with their loved ones, we have provided some tablets so they can video chat.

These are just a few of the steps Nestle UK & I have taken to help. For more news on how we are supporting people during this crisis, check back regularly. We are always open for you.

Partnering With Fareshare & Foodcloud

At Nestlé Professional®, food is our work and our passion, but it can be easy to understate the importance it plays in all our day to day lives. We have seen the impact that stockpiling, scarcity and job losses have had on so many people across the world over recent months, but we have also seen some incredible displays of community spirit to get food to those in need.
