Norwich based Kettle Foods, producers of Kettle Chips, is the latest company to sign up for the nook business network scheme, pledging to raise funds for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) nook appeal to help deliver a new purpose-built children’s hospice in the heart of Norfolk.
Kettle Foods has supported the charity’s current Quidenham hospice for over 20 years through fundraising, promotion of the charity’s work and gift and product supply. Most recently they also co-sponsored the nook appeal launch event in November, at the Norfolk Showground, in the presence of EACH Royal Patron HRH The Duchess of Cambridge.
The support from the company continues with Kettle Foods signing-up to the charity’s new corporate scheme for local businesses – the nook business network. This new scheme encourages companies to commit to raising money over the duration of the appeal in return for a numberof benefits and support the charity will provide.
Dominic Lowe, Managing Director of Kettle Foods, said: “As part of our contribution to the local community Kettle Foods has been a long-term supporter of Quidenham and the important work that they do at the hospice. We feel passionate about giving something back and so are really pleased to be involved in raising funds for the much needed services that will be provided by the nook.”
Gary Cook, the nook appeal corporate fundraiser, said: “It’s absolutely fantastic that Kettle Foods has seen fit to continue its long-term support of EACH by pledging to help us make our vision of a new purpose-built children’s hospice in Norfolk, for Norfolk families a reality.
“We really enjoy working with the team at Kettle Foods who are proactive in their support and in all that we do. The generosity, not only from the company but also the individuals within the company with their time, effort and enthusiasm is extremely heart-warming. I know Kettle Foods place a lot of emphasis on its role within the community and their continued support further displays this. We look forweard to working with them going forward.”
