Barnardos and Heinz have teamed up to support their work with children and families across Ireland, by giving Heinz’s iconic Beanz packaging a makeover for a second time. The breakfast staple has launched a special three-pack of ‘Heinz Meanz Mealz’ cans, with every pack sold supporting children who may not always have a warm breakfast available.
For every pack purchased, Heinz will be making a donation to Barnardos Breakfast Clubs. The children’s charity provides nutritious breakfast food, such as Heinz No Added Sugar Beanz which are naturally high in protein and fibre, to selected Barnardos centres across Ireland. The donation comes as part of a partnership between Heinz and Barnardos, with the two companies working together since 2020.
TV presenter and podcaster, Vogue Williams, joins the meals mission as an ambassador for this partnership between Barnardos and Heinz.
The Mum of three explains how her own children inspired her to help other families in need.
“I can’t imagine the worry that many families must be going through. No one should be unsure when or where their next meal is coming from, especially children.”
“Working with Heinz and Barnardos, together, we hope to not only raise awareness of this growing issue taking place on our doorstep, but to also highlight that a small, tangible act – such as buying a pack of Heinz Beanz – can have a big impact and help support those most vulnerable in the community,” she said.
Last year, Barnardos supported over 20,000 children and families, of which Heinz helped, by providing 5,000 meals to the children’s charity.
New three-packs of ‘Heinz Meanz Mealz’ Beanz are available from major retailers such as Dunnes, Tesco, SuperValu and Aldi now, as well as convenience stores. RRP €3.59. Prices are at the sole discretion of the retailer.
