EDUCATION

The Food & Allied Group of Companies has been committed to actions of social responsibility for many years. The support mainly focused on the education sector with grants to complementary schools, ZEP schools and the Centre of Learning for instance. Several programmes have been set up at an internal level for its employees over time.

Chantecler Foundation - Secondary & Technical studies
The group is committed to supporting employees' children during their secondary education. This assistance has been extended to technical school level. Based on some criteria, employees contribute and can have access to different levels of funding. Hundreds of children have benefited from the scheme since 1981. The Chantecler Foundation, responsible for this project, can be proud of its achievements, including helping Laureates in recent years.
