COMMUNITIES
We pride ourselves on our chicken, but we’re also committed to being a good neighbour in the heart of the communities where we have restaurants. We believe in feeding people’s potential in our local communities – and we do that by investing in the next generation, creating a more sustainable and equitable future for young people, and empowering them to reach their full potential. And it’s through our youth and community programmes, and partnerships like Hatch, the KFC Youth Foundation, the food donation scheme, and the Great British Spring Clean, that’s allowing us to make this happen.
KFC Youth Foundation: Empowering young people to fulfil their potential
KFC is proud to support the KFC Youth Foundation and its work helping young people across the UK fulfil their potential.
The Foundation supports young people to take positive steps towards their futures by helping them access opportunities, develop skills, find safe spaces and build confidence.
Hatch: Helping ambitious young talent take flight
Hatch is KFC’s employability programme, delivered in partnership with the KFC Youth Foundation, to help young people build confidence, develop skills and access opportunities for the future.
Through Hatch, KFC supports young people who may face barriers to work, helping them take positive steps towards employment and their future careers.
Food donation scheme: Enabling access to protein rich food
Over 13 million people in the UK are struggling to get enough to eat – that’s nearly 1 in 5 of the UK’s population (Figures from The Food Foundation) – Of which, 4 million are children. No child should ever go to bed hungry. There are more people in food insecurity now as a result of the cost-of-living crisis. We’ve already started tackling food waste in our restaurants but we’re sometimes left with food that isn’t going to be sold, so we choose to work with redistribution partners to help us get it to people that really need it.
Tackling Litter Locally: Improving the environment for local communities
Taking care of local spaces couldn’t be more important when it comes to looking after the wellbeing and future of our local communities and their local environment. And that matters to us – it’s key to being a good neighbour; ensuring that everyone can enjoy local spaces around them. That’s why we have a big commitment to stamp down on litter. We’re committed to getting it right – and by partnering with Keep Britain Tidy for its annual Great British Spring Clean, we’re working together with our communities, partners and customers to do our bit to keep our local spaces cleaner and greener, both now and for future generations.
