Making a world of difference in Southampton

[ November 25, 2024   //   ]

DP World Southampton has donated £5,000 to food redistribution charity, The Big Difference, to help it set up the city’s largest community pantry in Northam.

The Big Difference was formed in 2020 and supports over 100 local charities, community groups and schools in Southampton by helping struggling families and those facing food insecurity. Since its foundation, the charity has grown to become one of the biggest outreach projects in Southampton.

Over the coming months, DP World Southampton staff will get the opportunity to volunteer their time at the charity to help sort food donations, make parcels and deliver them to the local community groups in need.

Chief executive officer at The Big Difference, Dr Sanjan Mall, said: “The feedback from the local community has been overwhelmingly positive and the friendships and sense of community we are building has put a smile on everyone’s face. It is a real pleasure that we can use kind volunteers from DP World who will give up their time to help us make a variety of parcels and food packs which will be sent to one of many communities we are working with.”
