BASKET BRIGADE is 21 YEARS YOUNG!
Basket Brigade Notts is a 100% volunteer-run project, led by local social enterprise, Indigo Brave and supported by Nottinghamshire Community Foundation.
This year Basket Brigade is 21 years old! They have grown hugely since the first ever Basket Brigade in The Millennium Centre, St Ann’s. and continue to do the same Christmas magic.
Each year they collect nominations from the community, for people who are in crisis or perhaps need a bit of extra love over the Festive Season.
The group collects gifts, food, and festive treats, from local businesses and individuals and wraps and packs like mad. Then personally delivering a Festive Surprise – a beautiful luxury hamper, including personally selected gifts for each family member.
Last year Basket Brigade packed and delivered over 255 luxury hampers, with absolutely no paid staff!
This year they want to ‘re-energise’ and have a bold new plan for their 21st year, with the aim of attracting:
- 21 New Businesses donating goods
- 21 New Volunteers, committed to helping their community
There is so much that makes Notts Basket Brigade special, but some of it is the love and care which goes into the wrapping with plenty of bows, and the handwritten card inside.
The stunning hampers are a total surprise, completely anonymous, and deliver a lot more than the gifts and food in the box! They are heartfelt gifts of hope and love, showing people that they are seen and cared for by their community; loved and appreciated.
