THE TEAM AT LEADING PRINTING & MERCHANDISE COMPANY LAUNCH COMMUNITY FUND FOR 2021.

Embello, a leading printing and merchandise company based in the Midlands, has launched its community fund by offering £1,000 of branded goods to a charity or not-for-profit organisation every month during 2021.

The company, based in Wilnecote, Tamworth has pledged to donate a total of £120,000 over the next ten years to good causes to help them spread their own messages and raise their own awareness. 

MD Kyle Raffo said: “Giving back is an important ethic within our company. We work with 100s of other companies nationwide, and overseas, to produce their branded merchandise, yet many worthy charities, social enterprises and even local community groups, simply don’t have funds to cover this kind of marketing asset.

“Last year we focused on Tamworth-based organisations and in 2021 we are opening it up to a wider area – the Midlands and possibly beyond if we have a lot of interest. If we can support at least 12 organisations over the next 12 months that will be amazing.”

Kyle set up Embello (previously known as Expand Digital) when he was just 16 years old and today his team work with brands including Twitter, The D-Day Darlings, Business Live UK and Loughborough University.Last year the Embello team worked with Tamworth charities including Unicorns Swimming Club for Disabled Persons, Spirit Awards and Santa’s Little Helpers.

Any Midlands-based charity, not for profit or social enterprise can apply to be considered as one of the 2021 beneficiaries of Embello’s Community Fund. If they are successful they can claim branded merchandise including clothing, banners, pens, mugs, engraved trophies or awards to support their own marketing. 

Kyle said: “Being able to showcase your charity, community group or project in a professional way with high quality branding elevates the profile. It engenders confidence, raises awareness and encourages people to engage at events, shows and some will go on to give money, time or expertise. This kind of asset provides numerous benefits which smaller organisations can struggle to access.”

Any organisation interested in this offer must apply by visiting www.embello.co.uk/community and completing an application form online. From the applications Kyle and his team will then select 12 worthy recipients in early January and will deliver the goods per calendar month.
