Christmas this year is going to be very different for everyone and there are many people that are going to need support. This year, Prezzo has teamed up with Global’s Make Some Noise, the official charity of Global, the Media and Entertainment group, to support small and local charities across the UK, helping those hit hardest by coronavirus.
Whilst the doors might be currently closed for dining across England, Prezzo has launched its Christmas menu and fundraising campaign nationwide to take-away customers in England, until restaurants can open again.
Prezzo is calling on its customers to help spread smiles and happiness for those who need it most this Christmas. There are two ways to support:
Secret Sprouts
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, to support small charities up and down the country, helping people affected by coronavirus in the communities of Prezzo’s restaurants. This includes SPEAR, which offers vital help to those experiencing homelessness in South West London.
Christmas cards
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.
Global’s Make Some Noise supports small charities up and down the country that are helping those experiencing homelessness and hunger, grief, domestic abuse, loneliness, illness and mental health problems, as well as carers and care workers.
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 has 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 continue their critical work.”
The Prezzo Christmas menu is available from Tuesday 17th November via Click & Collect, Deliveroo* and Just Eat*. The Secret Sprouts is only available via Click & Collect.
Guests in Scotland and Wales can enjoy the Christmas set menu of two courses for £15 and three courses for £19 in their local restaurant. As for England available, those in lockdown can get the same set menu with 20% off Click & Collect to enjoy on their sofas.
