There are a number of charities that do good works for various people who have worked in different parts of our industry who have fallen on hard times.
Should you ever be drawn to be considering a donation relevant to your industry, you might like to consider one of the following charities.
Grocery Aid - the new name following the amalgamation in September 2012 of "Caravan" (the National Grocers Benevolent Fund) and "Sweet Charity" (The Confectioners Benevolent Fund)
