Funky Concepts choose St Basils as their Charity of the Year

Marketing and promotional distributions company Funky Concepts who are based in Stourbridge have chosen St Basils to be their “Charity of the Year” for 2012, for the work St Basils does with young people local to their Headquarters in the North Worcestershire area.

Shelley Jackson-Woodall and Rob Hall from Funky Concepts have offered to support a range of fundraising events which St Basils hosts throughout the year. Funky Concepts have already confirmed their involvement in the St Basils Bake Off in September and are considering participating in the St Basils walk which this year will take place in the Malverns on 9th June, as well as the Big SleepOut on 30th November.

Funky concepts have also offered to help with marketing and will be donating £500 worth of promotional branded items such as pens, magnets and notebooks to raise awareness of St Basils work with young people and how members of the public can help.

Business Development Manager Shelley Jackson-Woodall said: “We are all really looking forward to working with St Basils this year. We were very impressed with the service that is provided and look forward to helping raise the profile of this valuable charity during the next twelve months. The team are looking forward to being active participants in fund raising activities; we are already buying our thermals in readiness for the Big SleepOut!”
