Charity

Founded by Frank and Emma Bothwell in 2019, the Thomas Franks Foundation aimed to raise funding for children from low-income backgrounds to access independent education. However, when the pandemic hit, the Foundation quickly pivoted to provide nutritious meals for people at risk of food poverty.

Feeding Communities was born, and the Foundation built partnerships with charities and community support groups across the UK and Europe. Since then, we have provided more than three million meals in partnership with our locations, and charity now forms one of the five key pillars in our core strategy – proof of how central it is to our ethos. We are proud to support people who need us.

Our Impact

We were having a particularly difficult week then there was a knock on the door and it was our unexpected Feet up Friday delivery. It was amazing and couldn’t have come at a better time. When we are so focused on coping with our family situation cooking healthy balanced meals has completely gone out of the window. This scheme has made a huge difference to my mental health, particularly my stress levels and given me back some of my precious time.

Our Impact

The meals were delicious, well presented and had clear instructions on them. The impact of having the meals delivered to me has really made a positive impact.
