Pittis Estate Agents have been donating £100 to local community foodbanks every time they attend a property valuation to help support their local communities with the growing cost-of-living crisis.
The cost-of-living crisis has been affecting so many and Pittis Estate Agents have, once again, put their charitable foot forward to help local community food banks across the Isle of Wight.
So far, the campaign, led by Group Managing Director, Aldo Sotgiu, has raised over £750,000, helping over 90 individual food banks.
Aware of the impact that the cost-of-living crisis was having on families over winter and following the success of their £1 million campaign for Barnardo’s Children’s Charity at the end of 2022, Pittis estate agents knew how important it was to go even further.
On top of these generous donations, their agents have been visiting their local food banks to learn, volunteer and raise awareness of the local food banks in their area.
Pittis have been supporting their local communities, providing support to local charities through their local community foundations and in partnership with The Paul Rooney Family Foundation, for many years now.
Group Managing Director, Aldo Sotgiu said:
“It has been a truly humbling experience for all of us to learn more about how food banks support our local communities. To be able to support and provide in a way that gives back to our community is a great feeling and there is still so much more help we need to give over the coming months. I just want to take this opportunity to extend a huge thank you to all our staff and customers who have made this possible.”

This won’t be the end of charitable endeavours for the estate agents as, for the 2nd year running, they will be supporting vital funds for their charity partner, The Children’s Trust, and are planning a year filled with charitable activities and challenges.
Fantastic! Rather than just taking the credit for other peoples efforts like the supermarkets, they are actually putting their hands in their pockets to help out. Well done Pittis!
perhaps they could have cut the exorbitant fees they charge people who are trying to buy a house instead of virtue signalling.
Now time to sort customer service and corruption within
It would be better if they got their office in order. They keep causing upset here by phoning and asking to speak to my mother who died at Christmas. We have had to block their number, but having told them last year not to phone here any more this shouldn’t have happened at all. I am still waiting for an apology – I won’t hold my breath. Disgraceful way to run a business.
Blood money? Skimming of every transaction.
