Leading technology company Fujitsu has donated to the Good Food Fund, a Business in the Community Northern Ireland (BITCNI) initiative to support primary school children and tackle the issue of hunger in NI amongst the current cost of living crisis.
The Good Food Fund aims to support more than 10,000 young people in NI this year, offering much needed support to school children and providing them with nutritious food in a safe and protected environment.
As a business, Fujitsu is passionate about championing young people and the donation to the Good Food Fund is an extension of its many educational activities. This includes championing careers in STEM through school engagement and its sponsorship of the Irish News Young News Reader Project which aids the development of literacy skills and critical thinking at Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 level.
Commenting on the donation, David Clements, Client Director at Fujitsu NI said,
“Empowering educational excellence is a core pillar of our business and we’re proud to have strong ties with schools and educational bodies across Northern Ireland.
The Good Food Fund is a fantastic initiative, and we hope that our donation can help provide young people with nutritious food to help fuel them throughout their day.”
The Good Food Fund will help provide local primary schools with Breakfast Clubs, Grab & Go baskets and the supply of white goods such as fridges, toasters or cutlery to help with the preparation and storage of food.
Kieran Harding, Managing Director, Business in the Community added;
“The contribution businesses can make to society is undeniable. The offer of support from Fujitsu along with others through the Good Food Fund in Northern Ireland shows just how powerful the collaborative force of business can be.”
Fujitsu is encouraging other businesses to donate, via the BITC website. Visit the BITC website for more information on the Good Food Fund.
