This April, we’re supporting MK Food Bank by rolling out food donation collections across a number of the sites we manage.
Working alongside PGS Group, we’re aiming to make it as simple as possible for teams to contribute, by bringing donation points directly into the workplaces we support.

Making It Work On Site
Across the sites we support, we’re placing donation crates in staff kitchens and communal areas for one week at a time.
This makes it easy for teams to get involved as part of their normal working day, whether that’s bringing in a few items from their weekly shop or contributing something they already have at home.
We provide everything needed, including posters and donation guidance, and handle all collections and delivery to MK Food Bank.
There’s no disruption to site operations, just a simple, structured way to support a local cause.
Why This Approach Works
In facilities management, we’re used to working within live environments where simplicity and practicality matter.
By integrating donation points into existing spaces, participation becomes easy and accessible and that’s what drives engagement.
It’s not about asking for large individual contributions. It’s about creating an opportunity for lots of small actions across multiple sites.
A Collective Effort Across Our Network
Each site may only collect a modest number of items, but collectively, the impact builds quickly.
It’s been great to see teams getting involved and supporting the initiative so far.
