Innovate Services, the innovative school catering operator, has made its first donation to the charity Mary’s Meals, following its commitment to support the organisation as its designated charity six months ago.

The donation of £12,468.48 has come as a result of Innovate's pledge to donate 4p for every bottle of water sold at its 80 school restaurant sites across the UK.

Since partnering with Mary's Meals, over 311,700 bottles of water have been bought by students and staff at Innovate's school catering sites, including Pimlico Academy, which itself saw 15,480 bottles purchased over the last six months alone.

Ken Robb, finance and operations director at Pimlico Academy, said: "It's great to think that by buying a bottle of water at school, our sudents are able to help a child less fortunate than themselves somewhere in the world. Something that we take for granted here is a lifeline for others."

Derick Martin, co-founder nd CEO, Innovate Services, added: "The work Mary's Meals does across the world to provide children with food in their local schools is just fantastic. We are extremely proud to be able to support this worthy organisation."
