“Even as someone who isn’t the world’s biggest sports fan, I thoroughly enjoyed the Sporting Lunch. Hearing the personal stories and challenges of the sporting heroes made it so much more than just about the game – it was a celebration of resilience, passion and human spirit which everyone can connect with” - Sophie Hogg, Category Director - Beers, Wines & Spirits, Sainsbury's

Highlights from 2025
This is a fundraising event supporting GroceryAid, the charity for the grocery industry. All bookings are subject to acceptance of GroceryAid’s event terms and conditions.
Our fundraising events help us provide free and confidential support to our supporters and colleagues. At the Sporting Lunch 2023, we premiered our latest case study which was created after Filshill reached out to GroceryAid following a critical incident in the workplace. Watch the video below to find out how we provided crucial support to colleagues during a difficult time.
