Wiltshire firm marks £200,000 milestone with charity partner

Trowbridge-based meals provider apetito has celebrated a 10-year, £200,000 milestone with its long-term charity partner Beyond Dementia.

This year’s contribution of £21,000 takes the partnership’s total fundraising to more than £200,000, highlighting a decade of meaningful impact within the community and reflecting apetito’s ongoing commitment to supporting the vital work of the charity.

During this time, funds raised by apetito staff members have played a crucial role in supporting the wide range of services delivered by Beyond Dementia, including day clubs, community groups, home support, dementia advisory services, training, support for carers, and education in schools.

This support has enabled the charity to meet the growing demand for its services and continue making a genuine, lasting impact on the lives of people living with dementia and their families across Wiltshire.

Sarah Marriott, CEO of Beyond Dementia, said: “We are thrilled to celebrate ten years working alongside apetito.

“Their unwavering support has had a truly significant impact on our charity and the people we serve, and it’s extraordinary to see that their contributions have now exceeded £200,000.

“We are deeply grateful for the ongoing partnership, and dedication of its staff members.”

“The partnership between apetito and Beyond Dementia is grounded in shared values and a mutual commitment to supporting some of the most vulnerable people in society.

“Fundraising has been carried out through an extensive range of events, from skydives and cycle challenges to local fun days, alongside event support and shared learning opportunities that have deepened the relationship even further.”

Lee Sheppard, director of corporate affairs, policy and sustainability at apetito said: “We are incredibly proud to celebrate ten years of partnership with Beyond Dementia.

“We’ve seen first hand how their work makes a profound difference to members of the local community, and reaching this incredible milestone reflects the dedication of our employees and everyone involved in supporting their mission.

“We look forward to continuing this valued partnership into its next decade, exploring more opportunities to work together and continue making a real difference.”
