The Pret Foundation has a simple goal – to alleviate poverty, hunger and homelessness. Money donated to The Pret Foundation helps to support  grassroots charities and projects that help homeless people up and down the country. The charity also runs The Rising Stars programme, which helps vulnerable people get back into employment. Finally, at the end of each day The Pret Foundation works with Pret shops to give unsold food away to shelters nearby.

I am fortunate to serve on the Board of Trustees for The Pret Foundation and see the difference they are making each day. I wanted to take on a challenge that I knew would push me and raise money for a great cause at the same time.
