Ground Control announces Billericay Food Bank sponsorship

Continuing a partnership to support the local food bank

Ground Control has sponsored the Billericay Food Bank to support the charity's food club, a new initiative to engage businesses and create a supply of food bank staples that people desperately need, but are not traditionally donated. Ground Control has committed to five monthly slots to ensure that basic food such as eggs, milk, and potatoes remain available in the food bank stores.

The commitment from Ground Control is part of EverCare, the company's CSR objectives, which aims to support a variety of initiatives and charities to give back and demonstrate Human Nature at its best.

Ground Control and the Billericay Food Bank

With the company's headquarters in Billericay, Ground Control has shown ongoing support for the foodbank as a commitment to the local area, prior to this donating over 50 bags of food and match-funding this through the EverCare fund to donate £1000.

Recently, Darren Daley, Grounds Maintenance & Client Services Director, announced the new sponsorship at the Billericay Food Bank, sharing the donation of nearly £5,000. On the back of this donation, Darren shared:

I am proud to have represented Ground Control and share our EverCare donation with the Billericay Food Bank. Our work to support local charities is incredibly important to me, and it is great to see this commitment continue.

Ground Control's Darren Daley presented a large cheque to the foodbank. Handing this over to two repsentatives.

Christmas in a bag 2025

In December 2025, the charity received its biggest donation to date from Ground Control employees at the business headquarters in Billericay. In fact, there was so much food that Stuart Gibbs from the charity kindly collected the heavy crates and transported them by van. In 2025, Ground Control also volunteered at the local Waitrose, encouraging customers to donate to the charity, and many did generously.

Stuart Gibbs from the charity commented:

Thank you so much to the Ground Control staff who contributed to this Christmas collection. Without the support of local businesses and individuals, we simply wouldn't be able to do what we do. We know that some families will struggle this time of year, and contributions like this really help us to support the local community. Thank you.
