In celebration of 21 years of the Belazu Foundation, colleagues from across William Jackson Food Group are collectively aiming to get their steps in (walk, run, cycle or dance however we prefer to move) from Belazu HQ to Tidli School in Morocco and back!

A total distance of 4000 miles, the route takes us from Belazu HQ past Jacksons, Wellocks, Lottie Shaws, WJFG HQ, Abel & Cole, past our Spanish office to Tidli pre-school in Morocco.

The Belazu Foundation supports food and educational projects for children and families in UK and around the Mediterranean to promote education and healthy eating to inspire future generations. Founded in 2003, The Belazu Foundation was born out of a desire to give back to the communities we work with, both at home and abroad. We are proud to work collaboratively with other partners and charities including The Zakoura Foundation, School Food Matters, Chefs in Schools, and more!

Children spend around 1,200 hours in school every year and many millions rely on school meals for vital nutrition. With the threshold of free school meal eligibility as a joint household income of less than £7,400 per year in the UK, over 800,000 children are experiencing food poverty as they are not eligible.

Since 2003, the Belazu Foundation has committed over £235k to the Zakoura Foundation and supported over 15 projects to support children into preschool education in rural areas of Morocco. We currently support Tidli and Aurorir pre-schools in the Marrakesh-Safi region of the Atlas Mountains. After the earthquake in 2023, many children are still living and studying in tents which is significantly impacting their education.

£100 will way for internet connection for one year, £800 will provide stationary and resources for 57 children and £3600 will enable Zakoura to pay for a teacher's salary for a year in the Auorir village.

Over £200 million has been raised from our crowd to support the projects they love! Plus tens of millions more unlocked by our partners.
