Our partners

We have renewed our commitment to long-term partnerships with British and Irish farmers, expanding our long-term partnership model to create one of the UK’s most extensive networks of multi-year farming agreements. By 2027, more than 2,500 farms will be backed by these contracts, representing over £5 billion of committed investment over the lifespan of these agreements and securing 3.1 million tonnes of homegrown fresh food.

Long-term partnerships are key to delivering good food at great value. We’re giving farmers greater certainty over what we’ll buy, at what price and for how long and are providing them with the with the reassurance and confidence they need to invest in the future. This helps us to strengthen the supply of good food for generations to come.

Collectively, we are driving positive change across the food system, tackling climate, nature and labour challenges and raising animal welfare standards.

No child or family should go hungry. We are focused on helping families access the good food they need – today and for the long term.

Partnering with the Department for Education on their free breakfast club programme in October, we supported up to 180,000 school children across the UK. The initiative provided 750 early adopter schools with access to £200 gift cards to help them take their free breakfast club offer further - increasing their funding for healthy, affordable and nutritious food. We also committed to supporting over 570 additional schools from April 2026 onwards.

For over 25 years, our partnership with Comic Relief has helped families facing impossible choices. In 2025/26 we donated £8.7 million to Comic Relief, helping deliver millions of meals and vital community support. And together we’re determined to go further to ensure all children and families have the food they need to thrive. Building on decades of partnership, we have launched a bold new ambition to raise £30 million for Comic Relief by 2030, doubling our impact to help us to reach a total of 120 million meals donated to children and families across the UK since 2022.
