Windsor & Eton Football Club – Pre-loved kitchen

CSR (Corporate social responsibility) has always been a massive part of our culture at MCFT, focused on having a positive impact in communities across the UK and the globe.

As a commercial kitchen equipment maintenance specialist and supplier, dedicated to helping their community, we often come across second-hand equipment that’s too good to scrap and immediately begin looking for good causes that could do with a helping hand.

All of the pre-loved equipment we supply is in working, tested condition – some may even be near new. All have been recovered from loving homes, now lost, and in need of a new loving family. 

We help local community organisations by supplying them with single pieces of pre-loved equipment to complete kitchen refits. These opportunities also provide our trainees, under supervision from our experienced technicians, further real-world experience in the removal and refitting of kitchen equipment.

Recently we have had the chance to help Windsor & Eton FC, since the clubs creation it has become a huge part of the local community, with many members of MCFT involved with the club. With supporting local communities core to our values at MCFT, when we found out the club needed a new kitchen we jumped at the chance to help.

It's fantastic to see the difference we have made to the site, in the before and after photo below:

Its great to hear such positive feedback from Craig the club secretary on how much MCFT has helped the club. 

“I’ve been absolutely amazed with MCFT, they have gone well above and beyond to assist in getting our kitchen up and running, we want to say a massive thank you.”

Donating pre-loved equipment is so important to us, by repurposing and recycling, we're not just saving resources and supporting the circular economy, we’re providing local community organisations with kit that could of cost them thousands.

When we receive requests for our pre-loved kit, we escalate all equipment requests to our CSR committee to determine if we can meet the customer’s needs (and needs are sufficient) and will aim to respond with 3-5 working days.

If you know of a local cause in need of some pre-loved kit - please contact CSR@mcft.com.
