AN EAST Yorkshire poultry producer has sponsored a global humanitarian charity for a major fundraiser in London.
Middleton-on-the-Wolds-based T Soanes & Son was chosen as a sponsor by Action Against Hunger, the official charity partner to Taste of London festival.
Chicken from the family business’s flock was made into burgers that were sold to raise money in Action Against Hunger’s 5 Star Burger Restaurant, during the five-day festival in Regent’s Park that attracted 50,000 visitors.
Tom Kingston, T Soanes & Son sales manager, said they were contacted by a staff member from the charity with two weeks to go before the festival.
Action Against Hunger reaches 14.9 million people a year and has raised more than £150,000 through its collaboration with Taste of London.
