Consultancy has appetite for food charity

Building consultancy Armsons Barlow has announced it has chosen Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance as its annual charity.

It comes after the Derby-based project managers, construction cost consultants, and building surveyors raised £2,000 for the charity at its annual charity golf day at Kedleston Park Golf Club last year.

Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance (DF4TA) was originally established as a response to the needs arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and since then has progressed to become a longer-term solution supporting the root causes of deprivation and poverty.

The charity now supports people in Derby who are experiencing food insecurity, through food provision, signposting, support, and advice.

Over the next 12 months, the team at Armsons Barlow will be organising a series of charity events and volunteer opportunities in aid of DF4TA.

Jonathan Heath, director at Armsons Barlow, said: “When we visited the charity’s warehouse in Ascot Drive, we were very impressed by their work, and it was a unanimous decision to select them as our annual charity for the next 12 months.

“DF4TA has done fantastic work over the past four years to help tackle food poverty in Derby, and we hope we can raise even more money this year to help to provide long term solutions to deprivation and poverty.”
