Kraft Support St Basils with Strategy Advice and Garden Makeover

We are very grateful to Bournville based Kraft Foods, who own Cadbury amongst other brands for the support they have given us recently.

Last month they visited St Basils HQ to offer their expertise and take part in a brainstorming session, suggesting some great fundraising ideas, which will hopefully engage sections of the local community that may not have been involved with St Basils before. St Basils has to raise £500,000 per year in order to continue the current level of support we provide to local young homeless people and with recent cutbacks and the recent rise in youth homelessness coming up with fresh and fun ideas has never been more important.

Later on in the month, a large team of staff from Kraft visited one of our newer supported accomodation projects and using materials they have bought themselves, gave the outside communal areas a makeover; sanding down benches, weeding and planting frost resistant pansies.
