Our newest addition to our B!G range, Strawberry and Blue Raspberry Bon Bons, are not just a sweet treat...
We've partnered with DEBRA UK, the national charity supporting those living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), more commonly known as butterfly skin. For every 120g bag of B!G Strawberry Bon Bons and B!G Blue Raspberry Bon Bons sold, 1p will be donated to DEBRA (Registered Charity No. 1084958 and SC039654), helping to fund vital community support, pioneering research and advocacy for people living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
This partnership is especially meaningful to everyone at A2Z Confectionery because of our Finance Manager, Dave. Dave has lived with EB his entire life. Now aged 70, he grew up at a time when very little was understood about the condition. Despite living with daily pain and the challenges EB brings, he remains a valued and active member of our team, continuing to support the business both from our office and from home.
His resilience, determination and positivity inspire us every day.
Commenting on this fundraising initiative, Dave said:
“I was really touched when the idea to partner with DEBRA as part of this product launch came about. I’m proud to be part of something that will hopefully raise meaningful funds to support others living with EB. Our ambition is to sell 2 million bags in the first year. We hope this will go some way towards helping DEBRA continue the incredible work they do.”
We hope these products not only become a customer favourite, but also help raise awareness of EB and make a meaningful contribution to the incredible work DEBRA does for individuals and families across the UK.
Because sometimes something as simple as a bag of sweets can help make a real difference.
