Order sprouts this Christmas for a good cause
This year, Italian restaurant chain Prezzo has teamed up with charity Make Some Noise to support small and local charities across the UK, helping those hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic.
Make Some Noise is the official charity of the media and entertainment group Global and one of the UK charities it will be supporting is the Southside Family Project.
Southside supports individuals and families living in Bath and North East Somerset to make positive changes in their lives and has done since 1997.
They deal with problems such as domestic abuse, substance abuse, mental health difficulties; or problems with finance and debt, housing issues or concerns related to education and employment.
There are two ways to support the charities’ work through Prezzo this Christmas.
Prezzo is launching a “new dish” on this year’s Christmas menu; Secret Sprouts. This dish is invisible (no sprouts will arrive at the table!). The £2 cost of the dish will be donated to Global’s Make Some Noise.
There will also be a Christmas card for children to colour in this year. Prezzo and Global’s Make Some Noise will distribute the
cards to older people, many who are going to be on their own this Christmas, to spread some smiles and festive cheer. The cards will also be available digitally to download for any families that want to take part.
Karen Jones, Prezzo chairman said: “This year has been tough on everyone, so we really want Prezzo to be a welcoming, Covid-secure escape this Christmas.
“We also want to do our bit to make a difference. Global’s Make Some Noise is supporting community charities up and down the country, working with those most affected by the pandemic. One of our core values is ‘community’, so this partnership is a perfect fit. Here’s to selling lots of secret sprouts!”
Emma Bradley, director of Global Goodness, said: “We’re so grateful to Prezzo for choosing to support our appeal with their very special menu item, Secret Sprouts.
“This feel-good campaign will help to raise vital funds for small, local charities doing essential work in our communities. On top of this, the Christmas cards that we’ll be helping to deliver will provide some comfort and cheer for those who might be experiencing loneliness or isolation this winter. The pandemic’s had an unprecedented effect on our communities, but thanks to Prezzo and the generosity of the public, we’re able to support those in need by helping small charities.”
