Poultry in motion ... Sleaford-area employer launches community ‘Chicken Run’ initiative

Moy Park has been calling on people to nominate someone they know who is deserving of a visit its ‘Chicken Run’ van, with winning nominees receiving a food box with enough Moy Park chicken to make six meals for a family.

The business, which has a site in Anwick, is running the scheme through its Facebook challel – www.facebook.com/MoyParkChicken

Speaking ahead of the launch, senior brand marketing manager Moira Mills said: “Following the success of Chicken Run in Northern Ireland, we were keen to launch phase two, to recognise local heroes in the communities around our GB sites. We can’t wait to see the nominations start to come in, whether it’s for a neighbour, older relative, key worker or colleague – we have up to 150 to give-away.”

As well as the doorstep deliveries, Moy Park’s ‘Chicken Run’ will also support three local causes with product donations – Sleaford New Life Community Larder, Ashbourne Lodge Care Home, and the Grantham Passage poverty charity.

Moira added: “At Moy Park, we recognise our role in contributing to the wellbeing of those in the local areas in which we operate. Through our chicken run initiative, we hope each food box will help a household and remind us all of how kind and neighbourly we are in local communities.”
