A bit about us
At The Pret Foundation we are passionate about supporting people facing adversity to access the resources and opportunities that they need to break the cycle of homelessness and lead healthy lives.
A third of the UK population are living pay-check to pay-check and could find themselves homeless at any time. Meanwhile 15% of households were living in food insecurity in January 2024. We are uniquely positioned to tackle this on both fronts and have been for the last 30 years.
We do three things:
- We can’t let good food go to waste so we donate as much as we can each day to those that need it most.
