Walters Turkeys is a long established company and has links with many organisations and charities.
Truck Festival is a music festival held on farm nearby at the end of July every year. There is a fantastic food tent run by volunteers to raise money for many different charities. In 2024 the Walters Family decided to donate and sell turkey burgers over the four days of the festival. We were delighted to raise an incredible £8000 for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance. For 2025 we rolled up our sleeves again to sell our ‘Tasty Turkey Burgers’ in aid of the South Central Ambulance Charity. This amazing local charity funds equipment and training for Volunteer First Responders who answer 999 call outs and provide emergency care until a backup ambulance arrives. We were very proud to donate a whopping £9235.87 to this indispensable charity.
The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institute (RABI) is a charity we have been involved with for many years. Kate is on the Committee for the Berkshire Branch. Walters Turkeys sponsor many of their events to raise much needed funds for providing welfare and financial help to those in the farming community in need, hardship or distress.
Newbury Show and the Association’s ploughing match is a key event in the calendar for the Walters family who are all members and attend the show every year. Historically Walters Turkeys was proud to sponsor the harvest centre where children feel and smell all the different grains that make up our food and understand the connection of farming to the food they eat. Edward sits on the cereal competitions committee and is a steward on the cattle lines.
Making sure that the next generation gain an understanding in farming is very important to us. We attend a local Open Farm Sunday with a few turkeys chicks each year which are so popular with all the children.
In our local village we are fortunate to have the beautiful St Marys Church and a new village hall was constructed in 2015. The Walters Family actively support these on-going projects.
Finally we like to support the local schools as well as charity and community groups with raffle prizes for their Christmas events and frequently lend our fridge trailer to many charity events over the summer.
