We are very proud of our work with charities and it stems from our belief that if you have the ability to create why let only the people who can afford it benefit from it? Our experience over the last five years of partnering up with charitable organisations and providing design work for them has lead us to supporting many worthwhile causes with some interesting solutions.
It all started with our sponsorship of a charity fashion show and auction at Stapleford Park on behalf of Jo's Trust and hosted by Cavells. We created the design in return for a brief mention in the programme.
Since then we have worked with Breast Cancer Care - namely on their 41000 faces website, and their Christmas Catalogue.
Get Connected, who we work very closely with on all of their design work and are corporate members. It must be said that Get Connected is our adopted charity and this amazing organisation provides much needed support for young people across the UK.
In 2008 we are supporting Volunteering England at their bi-annual National Convention by supplying all the convention design work in return for our monicker on the materials and the opportunity to host a workshop discussing our involvement with charities and how our experience can help you find creativity on a budget.
We also work very closely with 3 in 1 Consulting an amazing organisation who help charities to build relationships, raise funds, raise awareness and generally fill in all the gaps that are necessary but often too mind blowing or time consuming to fulfill.
All in all we try to help, wherever we can, to bridge the gap between cost and creativity and support charities by supplying effective creative at cost or on a contra or pro-bono arrangement. Every year, in November, we will help one charity for the following year in any way we can at cost/pro-bono or contra-deal. This year it's VE with the convention material, the previous year it was Get Connected, in November 2008 could it be you? If you are interested in eatsleepthink helping you in 08-09 please email us.
