Supporting National Foodbank Day

September 5, 2025

At Lyte Ladders & Towers, we believe sustainability isn’t just about reducing environmental impact, it’s also about strengthening the communities where we live and work. That’s why on Friday 5th September 2025, we were proud to support National Foodbank Day by collecting donations for Swansea Foodbank.


Why National Foodbank Day Matters

Across the UK, foodbanks play a vital role in supporting families and individuals facing hardship. National Foodbank Day shines a spotlight on this work, raising awareness of the growing demand for foodbank services and encouraging businesses and communities to take action.


In Swansea, the foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust network, providing emergency food parcels to those in crisis. Their work goes beyond just food, they also offer advice, support, and practical help to people navigating difficult times.


Lyte’s Contribution

As a UK manufacturer with deep roots in South Wales, we’re proud to give back to our local community. This year, our team came together to collect donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, and essential household items for Swansea Foodbank.


Every contribution helps, from tinned goods and cereals to hygiene products, and we are grateful to our colleagues for showing such generosity.


ESG in Action

Supporting Swansea Foodbank is part of our wider commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility. While much of our ESG focus is on reducing environmental impact through initiatives like recycled aluminium and solar energy, we are equally committed to the “social” pillar:

  • Supporting local charities and causes
  • Promoting wellbeing within our workforce
  • Giving back to the community where we manufacture

National Foodbank Day is a reminder that sustainability is about people as much as it is about products. At Lyte, we’re proud to stand alongside Swansea Foodbank and support the vital role they play in our community.


We’d like to thank our team for their generosity and encourage others to consider how they can support foodbanks locally, today and every day.
