Homewares, lifestyle and gift retailer Oliver Bonas (OB) has confirmed that UK Youth is the company’s new Be Kind Charity Partner for 2019 and 2020. The charity was selected because of the vital work it does to support young people across the UK.
“Our partnership with UK Youth allows us to go beyond fundraising and spreading awareness for the charity,” explains Oliver Bonas’ founder and managing director Oliver Tress. “It also allows us to engage with the young people within the UK Youth network to offer experiences, and develop life skills, which we believe will make a real difference to their lives.”
During 2019 and 2020, Team OB will be supporting UK Youth through raising awareness of the charity’s work, as well as organising donations from the sale of a range of products in store and online, team fundraising, and providing unique engagement opportunities for young people to develop their work skills and experience. Oliver Bonas will also be donating 4p, out of every 5p paper bag sold, to UK Youth.
Selected products will be sold in aid of the charity across the two-year partnership with many developed with the UK Youth team and the young people they support. A ceramic bowl set is among several products that are already available.
Donations from OB will not only enable young people build the key life skills they need to build a bright future, but also enable UK Youth to support the 3,536 youth organisations in their network to diversify funding, strengthen quality, harness impact, champion youth and build communities.
