All the support you need
With Snack Aid there is just our simple franchise package, designed to give you everything you need to get up and running quickly. You’ll receive your initial stock, branded snack boxes, training, marketing support and an exclusive local territory in which to build your business.
Your business is designed to become self-financing, as some of the cash you collect from your boxes will be reinvested to replace the sold items which makes your business sustainable. Other than occasional replacement boxes, your main ongoing expense is replenishing stock. As with any new business, you should allow for living expenses during the first couple of months while your franchise establishes itself.

- Are motivated to grow their territory
- Have a desire to succeed while making a difference
All you need to get started is:
- Storage space (a garage, spare room, or low-cost storage facility)
- A dependable car
- A computer and printer
- The franchise investment plus working capital of about £3000
At Snack Aid, your success is our success. We only grow when our franchisees grow, which is why we provide ongoing advice, training and support at every stage. We believe that once you compare the opportunities available, you’ll see that Snack Aid offers the best value and the most ethical and rewarding franchise opportunity in the UK.
Our franchise package gives you everything you need to start your own charity snack franchise — including stock, branded boxes, training, marketing materials and an exclusive local territory — so you can begin building your customer base straight away.
Day-to-day operations of the franchise
Customers choose a product from the box and place their cash in the moneybox, or pay using a QR code. Every two or three weeks, you remove YOUR cash from the box and restock with more products – it’s that simple. These takings are then used to purchase more stock and also provide you with your profits! The price you pay for stock includes the charity donation, so all the money you collect is yours. This way of selling is termed ‘Cause Related Marketing’ and is an increasingly popular way for charities to fundraise. The charity partners with the retail company and receives part of the profits.
What makes it so simple?
As the boxes are branded with Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, customers are happy to host them. This is not the same as cold calling as you are simply leaving a charity snack box at customer’s premises, just as if you were placing a vending machine, and giving them a free service. The fact that the charity is for children ensures a welcome mood and makes placing boxes easy.
