Food for Thought – Supporting Wolverhampton Food Bank

The Well, home of Wolverhampton Food Bank, has benefited from our ‘Charity-Box’ initiative, with a 20ft shipping container supplied at a discounted rate to provide additional space for the charity’s ambient food storage.

What is the Charity-Box Initiative?

Through our Charity-Box initiative, we invite humanitarian registered charities to hire a shipping container for free for six months, with the following six months charged at 50 per cent of the usual tariff. The initiative applies to eligible charities across the Midlands, as well as those in Liverpool, Leeds and Felixstowe and a range of standard sized shipping containers are available to hire through the scheme to suit different requirements.
