By | |

As plans start to ramp up for the festive season thoughts quickly turn to presents. However a new partnership recently announced, between Taste of the West and Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW), hopes to be able to solve gifting conundrums for your team, customers or clients in just a few clicks.

A range of artisan charity Christmas hampers, stocked full of award-winning, local produce, is on sale now. For each hamper sold, 10% will be donated to local children’s charity CHSW.

The selection of hampers can be fully personalised with your company’s logo, making them a unique and memorable way to show your appreciation for their support this year.

Taste of the West has worked closely with hamper stockists Devon Hampers, to bring together food and drink selections from more than 25 of the finest Taste of the West producers in the region to feature in this unique collection of 4 festive hampers.

Ranging in price from £50 to £125 the hampers are named after CHSW’s 3 children’s hospices plus the epitome of luxury hampers known as the “Festive Feast”. They are stocked full of award-winning sweet and savoury treats including cheeses, biscuits, olives, charcuterie, chocolates as well as a variety of drink options. All of which can be delivered direct to the doorsteps of those lucky recipients you want to treat this Christmas.

Hayley Wallbank, Regional Partnerships Fundraiser for CHSW said; “If you’re a business that usually sends gifts to your staff, customers or clients these hampers benefit so many; those receiving them, the children and families we support and the local producers of the products inside – it’s a win, win! Stock is limited so please act quickly if you’re interested.”

John Sheaves, CEO of Taste of the West said; “We are honoured to launch this exciting initiative with Children’s Hospice South West in time for the festive season. It’s a fantastic offer and a great opportunity to purchase a quality gift for your organisation filled to the brim with award-winning food and drink made in the South West. Coupling quality, regional produce with benefits going to a such a great cause – Children’s Hospice South West and the families they support – it’s the perfect combination.”

Deliveries will be starting on 18 November.

This festive season CHSW will continue to support more than 500 children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families, by providing hospice, palliative and end of life care as well as ongoing bereavement support. It’s three hospices in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall provide expert care and support for families when they need it most.
