“Fridays are spent making sweet treats to keep people going over the weekend, with something special to enjoy.”
Chris Goodman, Joint Managing Director at Focus Group, said: “With our own canteen facilities on-site, it was an obvious decision to help our NHS heroes and those vulnerable in society stay well-fed during this global crisis.
“We are involved with a great deal of charities and community fundraising day-to-day anyway, so there was no question about pooling our resources as a business and doing our bit.
