Supporting charities Pret Style |
| ¡@ |
Throughout the year, Pret has been supporting
numerous charities helping the homeless and the
underprivileged in Hong Kong (including Salvation
Army, Ark Association, Street Sleepers Association,
etc.) by offering our unsold sandwiches to them at
the end of each day. We display donation boxes in
all our shops to raise money for the
Make-A-Wish
Foundation and help to raise public
awareness their organisation. Each Christmas, we
have a Charity Campaign with Make-A-Wish Foundation.
For every Christmas Sandwich sold, Pret A Manger
will donate HK$1 to them. We also donate products to
their "Share the joy of a wish" campaign for their
fundraising event. |

We prefer to work on long-term arrangements with charity
organisations to ensure that as much food gets to the
homeless as possible. Tragically a few of our shops have
no regular charities able to collect from them.
If you are a registered charity and are interested in
collecting our unsold sandwiches on a long-term basis,
please contact Ms Audrey Lee at
audrey.lee@pret.com and we will get back to you
soon. |

The Pret Foundation Trust - UK |
¡@ |
|
Julian Metcalfe and Sinclair Beecham (the founders of
Pret A Manger) set up The Pret Foundation Trust in the
UK in 1995. The Trust is funded by money that we donate
from the sales of some of our products, and customer
donations through collection boxes in shops. This
primarily supports the Pret Charity Run, a fleet of
electric vans, which collect and distribute our leftover
food at the end of every day to charities for the
homeless across London. In total, we donate nearly 2
million meals to charities for the homeless across the
UK every year. |
