Kenya Aid Foundation is delighted to have teamed up with one of the UK’s leading removal specialists, Commercial Transfer, who work continuously with cross – sector business including banks, hospitals, libraries, laboratories and universities.

Since an initial partnership with the charity in 2009, Commercial Transfer has generously donated redundant office and school equipment for the benefit of our link projects in Kenya. These resources include furniture and IT supplies which are invaluable to educational facilities and community projects in Kenya where even the most basic of equipment is deficient.

Most recently we thank Capsticks Law Firm in London and Swindon Borough Council for the office furniture that was donated to Kenya Aid Foundation via Commerical Transfer.

Kenya Aid Foundation is pleased to announce a fundraising presence at Glastonbury Festival this year, courtesy of local chocolate making company TemperTemper.

Glastonbury is the largest greenfield music festival in the world, located in the Vale of Avalon. Since 1970, the festival has grown to become a forum for music, dance, art and design. Glastonbury 2009 boasted over 135,000 visitors.

Kenya Aid Foundation would like to thank local chocolate making company TemperTemper for their recent fundraising efforts (despite the rain!) at the 5th Kent County Fair on 1-3 May.

TemperTemper approached the charity in early 2010 with a view to being able to fundraise directly toward our link projects in Kenya. As seen on BBC 1’s ‘The Apprentice,’ the company runs parties, for both adults and children, under the expert tuition of experienced chocolatiers. The common interest in Kenya stems from TemperTemper’s link with a farming cooperative in Kenya that suffered badly as a result of the post-election violence in 2008 and is no longer able to manufacture or export fair trade sugar.

Hosted by The Hop Farm in Paddock Wood, the Kent County Fair attracts in excess of 15,000 visitors over the 3 days, offering local craft and shopping opportunities, and a host of country pursuits.

We would like to say a big thank you to Kidzone in Melton Mowbray for their generous donation of school uniforms to Kenya Aid Foundation. We were able to deliver a previous donation of uniforms to school children at our link projects in Kenya in December 2009, and we look forward to doing so again with this donation.

British actor Steve Huison, co-founder of the Shoestring Theatre Company, and currently starring as Eddie Windass in Coronation Street, invited a team from the Kenya Aid Foundation to visit the set of Coronation Street recently.

Kenya Aid Foundation supports Shoestring by storing theatrical equipment in recycled warehousing space donated by NFP Warehousing.
