Surplus food donations for our local community
Since 2015 M&S has been putting surplus food to the best possible use in our local communities. Our stores are connected with more than 2,000 local charities and groups where our surplus is transformed into meals, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Since the start of our partnership, M&S has provided over 130 million meals.
Gifts that Give
During Christmas 2022, M&S teamed up with Neighbourly to donate £1 million across 1,000 charities and community groups across England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales through the Neighbourly Foundation (charity 1189514).
Through the campaign, the gifts M&S customers gave went towards supporting community causes and families in their area, each with their own inspiring and unique story.
Together with Neighbourly, M&S shortlisted a selection of amazing causes to not only support, but also to help raise awareness of the important work they do. To celebrate, M&S brought together a number of these hardworking charities and community groups to feature in their Christmas TV advert, which has been shot by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey.
