Charity

The Industrial Agents Society is delighted to announce that its chosen charity for 2025 is Give. Help. Share.

Give. Help. Share. is a registered charity dedicated to combating food insecurity and promoting health education among children and families in need. Their mission is threefold:

GIVE: Providing nutritious food parcels to children, addressing the alarming statistic that 1 in 3 children in the UK live in poverty.
HELP: Supporting families in crisis by delivering wholesome food bags to over 2,000 families monthly across London and Hertfordshire.
SHARE: Offering food education workshops to primary-aged pupils, equipping them with essential knowledge and skills for a healthier future.

Each week, they distribute 500 nourishing food parcels to 30 schools in Hertfordshire and North London, ensuring more than a thousand children in food-insecure households receive the support they need. Alongside this, they deliver hands-on food education workshops covering topics such as healthy snack swaps, understanding sugar's impact on the body, and making nutritious choices on a budget.
They started the charity in response to COVID-19, when many families were struggling to access healthy food. Since then, they have adapted to meet the challenges of multiple ongoing crises-supporting Ukrainian refugees, and more recently, responding to the effects of the cost-of-living crisis. As the need has grown, so too has their reach: they have supported nearly 100 school communities and thousands of families across Hertfordshire and Greater London.

The co-founders are experienced teachers with MSc degrees in Public Health and Health Promotion, ensuring their approach is both educationally sound and evidence-based. All workshops are delivered by qualified teachers with nutritional expertise, and the programmes are designed specifically for children and families living in deprived areas.

Their impact has been recognised through multiple awards, including the Prime Minister’s Points of Light Award, the Hertfordshire Civic Award, and recognition from the British Nutrition Foundation. Schools and parents consistently report improved dietary behaviours in children, demonstrating the long-lasting value of their work.
