Greggs Foundation
-
The Greggs Foundation was established in 1987 by Ian Gregg, founder of the Greggs bakery retailer. It was established to put something back into the communities in which Greggs operates. It started from very humble origins, making small grants in the North East of England and has developed into a professional organisation donating in excess of £1million per year.Formerly known as the Greggs Trust, the charity was renamed the Foundation in 2009 with a renewed mission of 'making a difference to the lives of disadvantaged people in the heart of Greggs local communities'.
