Social Impact

At Rhubarb, supporting the local community is central to who we are.

We believe in backing partners that deliver meaningful, lasting impact for the people who need it most and we are committed to giving back by embedding social impact into our business culture.

Our Charity Partners

We focus our efforts on two key areas: driving systemic change in food education, ensuring that the importance of a nutritious, balanced diet is taught and provided from a young age, and tackling food insecurity to help reduce hunger and food poverty across the UK.

Testimonial

"In schools, we have a magical opportunity to improve children's health by both feeding children and teaching them about food. To make food about pleasure and fun as well as filling bellies with nutritious, tasty school dinners. We are incredibly grateful to have the support of Rhubarb, as part of OVG Hospitality, to help us ensure every child has the skills, knowledge and opportunity to eat well and thrive at school and beyond."

The Felix Project

We are putting a halt to hunger with our partnership with The Felix Project. Our Invisible Guest campaign aims to raise money by inviting our clients to host an invisible guest donation for their event, which Rhubarb match fund. The Felix Project use these funds to fund resource and food for approximately 600 charities and schools waiting for Felix food. We also donate surplus food from our venues to The Felix Project via their Green Scheme.

Invite The Invisible Guest To Your Next Event

We create events with a deliciously different flair. That creativity does not stop at events but extends into all things we do at Rhubarb. That is why we are proud to introduce our new initiative, “The Invisible Guest”. By adding just one more guest, an 'invisible' guest, you will be making a generous contribution towards The Felix Project and feeding those in need.
