The Yasmine McClory Foundation Chosen for Waitrose Newark Green Token Scheme

Every token placed in The Yasmine McClory Foundation’s box helps us provide vital support to families in Newark and the surrounding area who are facing food poverty. The funds raised will go directly toward our food relief programmes, ensuring that local families have access to nutritious meals, essential supplies, and the dignity of not having to go hungry.

“We’re proud that Waitrose has chosen to back local action on food poverty,” said Jess McClory, Director at The Yasmine McClory Foundation. “The Green Token Scheme is a small act with a big impact — every time someone drops a token in for us, they’re helping to put food on the table for families in our community who are struggling to make ends meet.”

Founded in memory of Yasmine McClory, the Foundation works to continue her legacy of kindness, compassion, and community care. Through partnerships with local schools, food banks, and community organisations, the Foundation delivers practical help to families experiencing hardship and advocates for long-term solutions to food insecurity.

How you can help:

 1️⃣ Pick up a green token at the checkout

 2️⃣ Pop it into our box at Waitrose Newark

 3️⃣ Every token = meals and support for local families 💚

To date, the Foundation has helped over 250 families by providing food through our campaigns and agriculture projects. With your green tokens, we can do even more.

The Yasmine McClory Foundation would like to thank Waitrose Newark for recognising the importance of tackling food poverty locally and for providing this platform to raise both awareness and funds.
