COUNTY Durham-based corrugated packaging manufacturer Durham Box won the Outstanding Charity Support by Small to Medium Companies Award at the North East Charity Awards 2022.
The award was in recognition of the company’s continued support for local charity, Feeding Families, which delivers food to those in food poverty. Working with other organisations and agencies, the charity ensures that thousands of families in need have access to emergency food boxes and support packages.
Durham Box provides the corrugated boxes used to distribute food. The firm also supplies branded dump bins, which are placed in local shops, businesses and schools, to enable food donations.
“The support that Durham Box gives to us is a fundamental part of the charity, without this we would not be able to help as many people are we do,” said Sarah McPhie, Feeding Families’ communications & fundraising manager. “We cannot thank all the team at Durham Box enough.”
Dan Morris, Durham Box’s managing director, added, “We are delighted to have won an award for our ongoing support for Feeding Families. For those who are struggling in food poverty across the region, life can be particularly challenging for many families, particularly with the rising cost of living and the impact of that across the country. We’re glad that we continue to make a difference with our box donations.”
