Good Causes
Kavli, the company behind Primula, has a long history and a strong heritage of producing high quality, wholesome foods for all the family.
It was established by Olav Kavli in 1893 and was run by the Kavli family for two generations, but in 1962, with no heirs to leave the business to, the ownership was transferred to a charitable organisation, the Kavli Trust.
The Kavli Trust supports research, cultural and humanitarian projects which are selected by the trustees independently of the Kavli group’s commercial operations.
Information on the work of the Kavli Trust can be found at:
In addition Kavli UK supports some local charities and for 2009/10 our staff chose The Children’s Foundation as the focus for fundraising. We also support Fareshare and Caravan, the Grocers Benevolent fund.

The Children's Foundation raises essential funds for medical and lifestyle research to combat childhood diseases and conditions such as cerebral palsy and autism.
It also supports a number of innovative, community-based projects designed to improve and protect the health and well-being of children and young people, both in the North East and nationwide.
Eight members of the Kavli team are taking part in the 2010 Bupa Great North Run in aid of The Children's Foundation, to find out more and to sponsor the runners click on the donate button, opposite.
FareShare is a national UK charity supporting communities to relieve food poverty by collecting surplus quality food products from the food and drink industry and distributing it to organisations working with disadvantaged people in the community.
Caravan is the trading name of the National Grocers' Benevolent Fund, the charity for the grocery industry. Caravan helps people all over the UK who have worked, or are working, in all areas of the grocery industry and have now found that they need some extra support to get by.
