Story
This November, we are partnering with five up-and-coming artists from across the UK to create five hand-designed, very limited-edition bottles to raise funds for Crisis UK. The Artists involved are Georgie Sladen, Louisa Foley, Tommy Gurr, Anna Jaxe, and Annie Grainger.
We will be raffling the bottles to five winners. All you have to do to enter is donate a minimum of £5.00 on this page . Each donation will be one entry and all proceeds will be donated to Crisis UK. At the end of the month we will be announcing 5 winners at random and sending the bottles your way.
COMPETITION DETAILS
- Each £5 donated is 1 entry into the competition (so, for example, if you donate £50 you will get ten entries into the draw)
- Just £28.22 will provide essential food, shelter, friendship and support through volunteers, christmas gifts and wellbeing programmes for a homeless person for the festive period.
- The bottles are 70cl of our first ever batch (no.1)
- We will be running the raffle until Friday November 28th.
All entrants must be 18+ or over and a UK resident. Please do not donate anonymously or else you will not be entered into the draw.
Each artist was given complete creative freedom when designing their bottle, and this is clear when you see the individuality of each creation, from the bright and vivid colours used by Louisa Foley to the dark representation of homelessness in the UK from Anna Jaxe to name just two.
Crisis is a charity we have wanted to work with for a long time. We have a great respect for their invaluable work in the fight against homelessness which is for us a grave human rights issue that so often exists in the background of everyday life.
With this campaign, we hope not only to raise funds but to increase the awareness of the inequality that exists all around us. Given the close link between alcoholism and homelessness, we feel it’s only right that as an alcohol brand we don’t hide from the issue but instead play an active role in giving something back. What’s more, the Coronavirus pandemic only serves to heighten not only the danger of being homeless, but also the threat of becoming homeless as we enter a period of great economic difficulty. We want to highlight the issue now in the hope to
inspire others to involve themselves going forward.
It was great to work with five hugely talented artists who have been able to bring this project to life in ways we couldn’t imagine. We hope those who can give generously will, and that this campaign will be our first step to an ongoing relationship with Crisis and together we can show beating homelessness is an attainable goal
