Elite Blinds
Elite Blinds made contact with us early in 2022, offering to donate a monthly sum for a specific group. They decided to help us bring back our in-person Cooking Group in Canterbury. A very-much missed group which had to close due to the pandemic. The group has been running now since April 2022 and it has been lovely to see staff from Elite Blinds pop in to cook with the group.
As a Gold-Level Guardian, Elite Blinds make regular donations for a specific group and also donated new blinds for our building in Canterbury. They look fantastic and have made such a difference to the space, helping it feel more inviting and creating a lovely atmosphere.

I Do Marketing

I Do Marketing have supported us since June 2022 by creating and helping us implement a marketing plan, completely pro bono. Lydia's amazing team talked us through branding and marketing ideas and linked us with other individuals and businesses who have also been helping out this year.
As a Silver-Level Guardian, I Do Marketing volunteer their time monthly to meet with us and help us make marketing plans. As a small charity we have not been able to focus on marketing as it's a complicated minefield. With their enthusiasm and extensive knowledge, the amazing team at I Do Marketing make it much easier to navigate and plan.
