Scotty Brand's plan for donations gives customers a chance to help the charity

BIG-HEARTED food company Scotty Brand have pledged to donate 5p from every stickered pack of potatoes sold during the festive period to Social Bite.

It’s the second year they have teamed up with the social enterprise in a bid to help them continue to carry out the valuable work they do with Scotland’s homeless community.

Stickered packs of potatoes can be found in Asda, Tesco, Iceland and Co-op stores.

Scotty Brand head of marketing Michael Jarvis said: “It’s the second year we’ve partnered with Social Bite and we were able to help make a difference last year.

“There are cafes in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, so it’s a Scotland-wide charity and we are a Scottish brand.

“We are about good, hearty, healthy food from Scotland and that’s exactly what Social Bite is trying to provide to people.

“The Christmas campaign was a big success last year and, for us, it was about helping a very worthy cause.

“One of the things that attracted us to Social Bite is that they tackle not just the symptoms of homelessness – people being cold and hungry – they are also doing a lot to try to alleviate the causes of it.

“It’s a great charity to be involved with and it’s good for Scotty Brand to be giving something back to people.”
