A couple of weeks ago three teams of beans participated in the retail challenge to fundraise for the charity DEBRA. DEBRA’s retail challenge raises awareness of the condition and valuable monies to #StopThePain. As well as donations, the awareness generated helps spread the message about EB and encourage others to get involved.
As a leading marketing agency, we are always on the look-out for opportunities to help the hospitality industry. This year, we are thrilled to be partnering up with The Restaurant Show for its ground-breaking initiative to raise money for Hospitality Action.
As a previous competitive swimmer when I saw this fundraising opportunity for Macmillan, I felt drawn to take on the challenge and help support this charity.
Right now, more than 3 million people are living with cancer in the UK. By 2030 this figure will rise to 4 million. Macmillan is an amazing charity that is here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, by providing physical, financial and emotional support.
As the leading food and drink agency dedicated to doing good, we’re delighted to be working with FareShare – the charity on a mission to fight hunger and combat food waste. Led by the mantra “no good food goes to waste” FareShare is all about redistributing surplus food to a vast network of nearly 8,500 charities and community organisations that use it to feed those in need across the country.
We’re proud to share that jellybean has raised over £2,000 for DEBRA UK.
Our intrepid beans Abi Fraser and Liv Martin took part in a thrilling ‘Flight to Fight EB’ wing-walk at Headcorn Airfield (Sun 11th June), which saw them amount a plane and soar at speeds of 120mph through the sky to raise money for a great cause!
DEBRA UK helps people living with the rare, and extremely painful, genetic skin blistering condition, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), also known as ‘Butterfly Skin’ with essential patient support. Smashing their fundraising goal, so far our duo have raised an incredible £2,100 in support of this pioneering charity’s £5m ‘A Life Free of Pain’ appeal with donations still open!
