Making incredible impact with Newell Brands
We are so proud of the longstanding partnership we have formed with Newell Brands, as one of our first donors in 1998.
They continue to donate consistently, enabling us to support over 6700 charities across the UK with a wide range of essential products including food storage, stationery, cleaning cloths, baby items, home electricals, cookware, gloves and more.
We receive donations from many of their brands including Sistema, Mapa, Nuk, Rubbermaid Commercial Products and Crockpot, which have so far supported a diverse range of charitable causes across the UK such as community groups, child/youth care, Family welfare, disability, schools and many others.
In their most recent donation from Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Newell Brands donated 18,000 of their reusable HYGEN™ Microfibre Cloths in support of our latest hygiene poverty campaign, which was distributed to charitable organisations across the UK, helping people in their communities keep their homes and environments clean.
At In Kind Direct, we create powerful partnerships enabling communities to thrive, and the partnership with Newell brands is a great example of that.
Thank you Newell Brands for your support to date.
