🎄💛 This Christmas, I love that every Christmas sandwich you enjoy at Pret helps someone experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.

£1 from each sandwich goes to The Pret Foundation, supporting people to break the cycle of homelessness and make a new start.

Treat yourself, enjoy the festive season, and share a little joy with others too! 🥪✨

🌟 30 Years of the Pret Foundation 🌟

To mark this milestone, we’ve been reconnecting with past and present Rising Stars — the remarkable people who’ve taken part in our programme — and capturing their journeys in a special portrait series.

Each portrait pairs a Rising Star with the managers, mentors, and teammates who supported and believed in them every step of the way.

📸 During our 30th Anniversary event, we unveiled the portraits and watched as our Rising Stars saw their faces and stories proudly displayed — a powerful and emotional moment for everyone 💛
