Sharing a few photos from Barcode Festival hosted by GroceryAid last week!! It was amazing to have the Candy Kittens stand there in full swing. We handed out over 14,000 bags of sweets (wild!), had some brilliant chats, and connected with so many fantastic people from across the grocery industry. This cause is doing such important work around mental health and wellbeing in our space. GroceryAid is the grocery industry’s dedicated charity, offering vital support to the very people who keep Britain’s shelves stocked. For over 160 years they’ve been a lifeline for grocery workers facing tough times, providing everything from mental health counselling and emergency grants to practical help after illness, job loss or bereavement. Every pound donated helps a family in need, ensuring no grocery worker faces crisis alone. Massive thanks to everyone who stopped by, bought a ticket, or just came for a chat (and sweets!) 🍬 #groceryaid #barcodefestival #candykittens
