Warburtons: Supporting Forest Fighting Fit’s Wednesday Night Food Programme
Warburtons is one of the UK’s most recognised and trusted bakery brands — a fifth‑generation family business that has been baking since 1876 and today produces over 2 million bakery products every day across its network of bakeries and depots nationwide.
🥖 Who Warburtons Are
Warburtons began as a small grocery shop in Bolton, Lancashire, run by Thomas and Ellen Warburton. When the grocery trade struggled in 1876, Ellen started baking bread to support the family — her first batch sold out in under an hour. That moment marked the beginning of what would become Britain’s largest bakery business.
Today, Warburtons remains proudly family‑owned and is led by the fifth generation: Jonathan, Ross and Brett Warburton. The company employs nearly 5,000 people and specialises in a wide range of bakery products including bread, rolls, crumpets, pancakes and wholemeal loaves.
🌱 A Long History of Community Support
Community is at the heart of Warburtons’ values. Since their earliest days, they have invested in the neighbourhoods where they work and live. Through the Warburtons Foundation, launched in 2022, they support families across the UK with food education, product donations, community grants and volunteering.
Their community work includes:
-
Donating millions of bakery products each year to food banks, breakfast clubs and local charities.
-
Supporting children and young people through education programmes.
-
Providing grants to grassroots organisations that improve health, wellbeing and resilience.
Warburtons’ commitment to tackling food insecurity is a major part of their mission — ensuring families have access to healthy, affordable staples like bread.
🤝 Warburtons & Forest Fighting Fit
Forest Fighting Fit is proud to be supported by Warburtons, who are generously supplying products for our Wednesday Night Food initiative. Their donations help us provide warm, nutritious food to local families, young people and community members who attend our sessions.
This support strengthens our ability to create a welcoming, inclusive environment — one where people can connect, eat together and feel part of a positive community. Warburtons’ long-standing commitment to helping families aligns perfectly with our mission to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and make healthy living accessible to everyone across the Forest of Dean.
❤️ A Shared Commitment to Community
Warburtons’ history is built on family, quality and care for local communities. Their support for Forest Fighting Fit continues that tradition — helping us deliver meaningful, practical help to the people who need it most.

⭐ Team Ignite Unveils New Fight Tracksuits – Proudly Supported by Arnold Clark
Team Ignite is looking sharper than ever. Our young athletes now step onto the mats in brand‑new Forest Fighting Fit fight tracksuits, proudly featuring our updated club logo and representing everything our team stands for: confidence, unity, and ambition.
These tracksuits were generously donated by Arnold Clark, whose support has made a real and immediate difference to our young people. For many families, competition kit can be a financial barrier.

The new design showcases our refreshed branding while giving our athletes a professional, cohesive look that reflects their hard work and dedication. Whether they’re warming up, travelling to competitions, or standing on the podium, Team Ignite now carries a stronger sense of identity and belonging.
We are incredibly grateful to Arnold Clark for investing in our young people and helping us continue our mission: providing accessible, inclusive martial arts opportunities for children and teens across the Forest of Dean.
