Clyde Buntrock, chief executive of AJW Aviation and Technique, said: "Our partnership with The Cosy Café is about more than just providing meals.
"It’s an opportunity for our colleagues to spend time with local residents, listen to their stories, and play a small part in supporting a warm and welcoming environment for everyone.
"We’re incredibly proud of the difference this initiative continues to make."
The Cosy Café serves as a social hub, offering a friendly space for people to connect and enjoy a hot meal, regardless of circumstance.
All meals are freshly prepared at The Galley, AJW Group’s in-house restaurant, and delivered by rotating teams of employee volunteers.
This approach gives staff a chance to engage directly with the community while ensuring café visitors receive nutritious, high-quality food.
Jane Slipper, Cosy Café manager and parish councillor, said: "We’re grateful for the generosity and personal involvement shown by the volunteers at AJW.
"Their weekly donations make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who visit us."
AJW Group describes the partnership as part of its broader commitment to supporting people and strengthening community connections.
By funding the café and supplying meals, the company aims to give back to the area and help improve quality of life for residents.
The Cosy Café is located just a short distance from AJW Group’s headquarters in Slinfold.
