Gingerbread, the national charity supporting single-parent families, has been chosen as this year’s Christmas charity for Stonegate Group, the UK’s largest pub company, raising funds and awareness this festive season.

Through the partnership, Stonegate pubs across the UK will feature donation prompts on their Christmas food menus and pub teams will host local fundraising events, from festive quizzes and carol nights to community get-togethers, with proceeds going directly to Gingerbread.

The partnership will also give Gingerbread a national platform through Stonegate’s Retail Media Network, with the charity featured across in-pub screens and digital channels throughout December. Customers will also see social media activity from Stonegate encouraging their followers to learn more about Gingerbread and how to get involved.

Vaila McClure, Head of Comms and External Affairs at Gingerbread, said:

“We’re delighted to partner with Stonegate Group this Christmas. Single parents face huge financial pressures, especially during the festive period. The generosity of Stonegate’s teams and customers will help us continue to provide support and community for single-parent families across England and Wales.”

Stephen Cooper, Head of Marketing at Stonegate Group, said:

“We’re proud to support Gingerbread and the important work they do for single parents. Our pubs sit at the heart of communities and our teams are passionate about making a difference locally. We hope our guests will join us in supporting this fantastic cause over the Christmas season.”

Gingerbread will be Stonegate Group’s Christmas Charity Partner in their various locations throughout the period of 11 November 2025 to 31 December 2025.
