Tarem Services Delivers First Mobile Foodbank Distribution in Birmingham in Partnership with CBRE and Zurich
On Thursday 23 October, social enterprise Tarem Services completed its first Mobile Foodbank distribution in Birmingham, preparing and distributing 100 bags of essential food items. Each bag was designed to support at least two people, helping vulnerable individuals across the local community.
In partnership with CBRE and Zurich, and hosted by local charity Inner City Life, the event also marked the launch of Inner City Life’s new soup kitchen, strengthening its role as a vital community hub.
Social Value in Action
The distribution took place in the community where Tarem Services delivers cleaning services for Zurich, on behalf of CBRE – illustrating how the company embeds social value directly into its commercial operations. Ten staff from Tarem Services and CBRE volunteered their time to prepare and distribute food essentials bags.
A Growing Impact
This Birmingham delivery marks the ninth distribution by Tarem Services’ Mobile Foodbank since its launch in October 2024, bringing the total number of people supported to over 1,580 across the region.
Addressing a National Crisis
According to the Trussell Trust, food banks in its UK-wide network distributed 2.9 million emergency food parcels between April 2024 and March 2025 – the highest number on record. Tarem Services’ Mobile Foodbank is a direct response to this growing need, showing how social enterprises can deliver real impact at the community level.
