EnviroCharity Welcomes Beyond Food Foundation: Changing Lives Through Culinary Training

We are delighted to announce the newest addition to the EnviroCharity family: the Beyond Food Foundation. This inspiring UK charity uses the power of food and professional chef training to help vulnerable individuals break the cycle of poverty and unemployment, making a profound and lasting difference to their lives.

Beyond Food Foundation joins our growing network of charitable partners, meaning that every time you choose to trade in your unwanted tech, you now have the option to directly support their life-changing work.

The Mission: More Than Just Food

Founded by Chef Simon Boyle, the Beyond Food Foundation focuses on providing holistic support to people who have faced complex challenges, including homelessness, addiction, poor mental health, and social exclusion. Their philosophy is simple: food restores us all. They run kitchen-based programmes, such as the flagship 'FreshLife' course, to empower individuals with essential life skills, chef skills, and the confidence needed to secure fulfilling careers in the hospitality sector and beyond.

By focusing on meaningful employment, Beyond Food ensures their participants achieve genuine independence, transforming both their professional and personal lives. Envirofone is proud to support a cause that combines practical skills training with powerful social change.

How EnviroCharity Supports Their Work

When you sell your old smartphone, tablet, or laptop to Envirofone, you can choose to donate some or all of your payment directly to the Beyond Food Foundation. Your donation, generated from your unused device, helps fund vital aspects of their programmes, such as:

  • Providing essential skills training and qualifications for vulnerable participants.
  • Funding wraparound support and counselling for those dealing with mental health issues and addiction.
  • Helping participants secure stable housing and permanent employment following graduation.

Give Your Old Tech a New Purpose

This partnership makes trading in your old phone even more rewarding. You get to clear out your drawers, reduce e-waste, and simultaneously contribute to a charity that is actively rebuilding lives through vocational training.

The choice is yours: get instant cash or help fund a future chef! When you are ready to upgrade, you can easily turn your old device into a charitable donation when you sell your unused handset to Envirofone. Alternatively, if you need a reliable device for managing your own schedule or training, remember you can always buy a quality refurbished smartphone that is guaranteed to perform flawlessly.
