Strathmore
Strathmore and The Prince’s Trust are
reaching out to both customers and staff while helping young people
in communities across the UK.
50 Million Bottles!
Bottles of Strathmore Spring Water carry The Trust's logo to
help raise awareness of the partnership and our work. Strathmore
estimates that over 50 million bottles are produced each year with
The Prince's Trust message on them where consumers will be directed
to the donation page of The Trust website.
The bottles are sold right across the wholesale, retail and
on-trade market in outlets like supermarkets, newsagents, corner
shops, restaurants, and branches of Starbucks as well as being
served at business meetings throughout the UK.
In addition, Strathmore are generously providing The Trust with
gift-in-kind of £25,000 (RRP) of Strathmore Spring Water for
fundraising over the year, keeping our supporters refreshed,
hydrated and no doubt even more eager to support The Trust.
Staff Fundraising
Strathmore staff are also enthusiastically raising funds to help
change young lives, setting themselves a challenging fundraising
target of £5,000 each year. Successful fundraising initiatives have
involved a fun and colourful cookbook, a Christmas album and a
calendar. Staff also regularly take part in the various road races
that Strathmore brand sponsors, including the Edinburgh Marathon,
Great Scottish Run in Glasgow and the Cumbernauld 10K.
Community Investment
Backing up the partnership is a significant financial
contribution to The Trust.
They are directly supporting two core Prince’s Trust programmes;
a 12-week Team Programme in Kirkintilloch and the xl club programme
in Bolton. Strathmore staff get actively involved, working directly
with the young people on the projects.
Message from the Chief Executive
Chief Executive Roger White, said:
At Strathmore we have always tried to make a
positive difference in the communities in which our operations are
based, particularly in Scotland, by supporting many local good
causes, fundraising activities and charity organisations over the
years. We fully intend to continue this important support. Our
partnership with The Prince’s Trust is about us helping and
supporting some of our less fortunate young people who may be
struggling in life. As a national youth charity, The Trust enables
us to do this in a more coordinated way so that we can fully engage
and encourage all of our staff across the UK to get involved in the
partnership.
