SOCIAL VALUES

At Fat Potato we are keen to help out the local and wider community.

Charity of the Year: Guide Dogs

We are proud to be supporting Guide Dogs as our Charity of the Year! We will be hosting regular events and accepting donations through JustGiving as we work towards naming a puppy.

Our team also help by taking our adorable guide dog plush toys with them on holiday with them and getting a picture of them!

Biodiversity: Hopping Harvest

In partnership with our sister company, Hopping Harvest, we are dedicating part of the land used for hay cultivation to create a wildflower meadow and install bird and bat boxes.

Through these actions, we estimate that we have become biodiversity net positive - meaning we are contributing more to biodiversity than the impact our operations have on nature.

Our previous work includes:

Movember at Fat Potato

We also have supported Movember; encouraging the team to take part in supporting such a good cause.

Along with the most glorious of 'tashes we also sponsored walkers - with the company pledging £50 for each person to take part.

Charlie Bultitude Equestrian

Sponsored Rider

Considering we're based in Gloucestershire, we knew our work had to be equestrian related! We were delighted to sponsor Charlie Bultitude as he competed and developed Irish Sports horse Brego in a number of disciplines.

Charlie is also a qualified registered BHS Stage 4 Senior Coach, with experience in teaching and coaching of all ages and abilities from lead rein to B test and stage 4 standard.

Supporting The Cotswold RDA

Another association close to our hearts is the Cotswold RDA.

We're working alongside a selection of other partners to improve the way the Cotswold RDA record and track riders' progress.

The current process can be quite slow and “clunky”, so we're donating developer time to update them with a new online system which will be much more responsive and offer more options on how to celebrate riders' successful journeys.
