Social Values at Ventro.

Ventro recently undertook a surveying programme for Nottingham City Council, and as part of our ongoing social value commitment for our customers we have been supporting local foodbanks in the area. We're proud to share that throughout the course of 2023-24 we've donated over 22kg of food to Hope Nottingham food banks.

Red Nose Day, is all about coming together, spreading joy, and making a difference in our world.

Ventro staff came together to raise some smiles and some money to help individuals through the toughest times of their lives. We even managed to do a small bake sale to try and help raise more money for a great charity, doing anything we can for an amazing cause! Everyone did what they could to make even a little bit of difference to those lives that are impacted.

Today our staff are taking part in #wearitgreen today for the Mental Health Foundation.

The green ribbon is the international symbol of Mental Health awareness, so by wearing green for the day, we're helping to highlight the importance of talking about your mental health and seeking help when you need it.

Our offices are taking part in the Breast Cancer Now #wearitpink and #afternoontea today to help raise money and awareness of Breast Cancer in men and women in the UK💓

Breast Cancer Now are a charity who do amazing work fighting for the best possible treatment, services and care for anyone affected by breast cancer.

It's World Mental Health Day, and in aid of Young Minds our Ventro teams have joined in on Hello Yellow once again. 

#HelloYellow is a day all about coming together in yellow to raise vital funds and show children and young people they’re not alone with their mental health. 

Our staff took part in a charity bake sale in aid of Children in Need. CIN help to support children in the communities whilst also funding amazing people in family centres, community spaces, youth clubs and refuges; homeless shelters, hospices and helplines.

In 2022/2023 we supported well over 400,000 children with the help of donations from people like us.

Friday 17th February was Random Acts of Kindness Day. Ventro Group took this opportunity to donate some food and toiletries to the local foodbank. They had requested for more toiletries than food, so we donated shampoo, toothpaste, tooth brushes, soap, and shower gel as well as some coffee and juice as these items were also in demand. 

To celebrate Easter this April, we decided to host our very own MacMillan Coffee Morning. Some of our amazing team brought along baked goods to be sold to help raise money whilst having delicious treats. 

The Ventro team attended the World Child Cancer Charity Dinner, for the second time, alongside our customer Metropolitan Thames Valley along with many others. We were honoured to sponsor a table and attend the evening.

The event was a huge success, with a phenomenal £110,000 being raised for the charity World Child Cancer who support children with cancer across the globe - an amazing cause and an excellent result!

As part of our social values, here at Ventro we try to donate to food banks throughout the year to try to help the local community where we can.

The team went to Plympton Food Bank in Plymouth to donate over 40kg of essential food items to the community. With the cost of living increasing, more people are relying on places like food banks to be able to live day-to-day. 

Ventro Group's donation to Chase's fundraiser shows our support for Chase, who has pulmonary hypertension. It reflects our commitment to helping those with health challenges and assisting Chase on their path to better health.

On October 20th 2023, all of us here at Ventro Group wore pink to show our support for breast cancer awareness. Our main aim for the day was to raise funds for breast cancer research and help those in need.

Together, we work as one to make a better future for those facing this tough illness.

The Ventro team did an excellent job fundraising for Movember, flaunting some seriously impressive moustaches! A big thanks to all who had our 'Mo Bros' backs! Our efforts resulted in a whopping £715 raised!

The Ventro team wore their Christmas Jumpers to work in order to raise money and awareness for the charity and we think it's safe to say a great effort was made this year!

The funds raised will be distributed across the world to help mums-to-be, new mums, babies and children get the food and medicine they need where there are limited resources.
