This One’s For Chestnut Tree House

Chestnut Tree House exists as the only children’s hospice in Sussex. They care for children and young adults with progressive life limiting conditions in a home away from home environment. The government only funds 8p in every pound, so the hospice relies largely on public support to continue the incredible work they are doing without a charge to the patients.

So we decided to raise some money here at the Edward Baden offices by taking part in Chestnut’s £50 challenge. The idea behind this challenge is to take £50 from the charity and see how much you can add to that within four months. We managed to raise £400! And how did we do this? We bought lots of goodies to fill sweetie trays in the office and then sold them on to staff and customers. It was a cheeky way of enforcing a small donation to the hospice and encouraging larger donations. Satisfying sweet tooths all around the office, whilst donating to a very worthwhile cause really was a no brainer.

However this donation does not mark the end of our support for Chestnut Tree House. We will be continuing with the sweetie tray scheme and also getting our heads together to discuss new ways to raise money. We hope to be sending off another cheque very soon!

Going Green

We are the generation who must carry the burden of the various ecological issues from which our planet suffers and here at Edward Baden, we are doing our bit to make our world a greener place.

·         We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and run low emission vehicles.

·         We have close links with specialist environmental disposal agencies, charities and local education trusts that are able to redistribute and recycle unwanted furniture and equipment.

·         All our packaging materials are locally sourced with high quality materials and where possible produced using recycled materials. Accordingly after use, we endeavour to reduce, collect and recycle our packaging materials.

During a stressful office move, recycling is often the last thing on a long list of priorities. Yet we are also aware that during the moving process, departments are often requested to reduce the quantity of filing to be moved. So we try to help out where we can; through Cube we handle the supply and transport of your recycling sacks and crates. We provide sacks for recycled paper to our customers to encourage a green frame of mind. Alternatively if you do not wish to recycle outright, we offer archiving and a confidential document shredding service. After shredding confidential documents, we make sure they too are pulped and recycled afterwards. Recycling paper is important as it produces fewer polluting emissions, consumes less energy, uses less water and avoids the production of harmful methane gas which is produced when rotting in a landfill.

However it is not only paper we recycle here at Edward Baden. We are proud to be involved with Computer Aid International by providing them with unwanted PC’s and associated equipment that have been donated by our clients.

Here at Edward Baden We Never Hit Snooze!

We might spend today screaming TGIF, but they were shouting TGIT in Gambia yesterday! The President of Gambia has decided to change his working week from Monday to Thursday and give public sector workers Friday off.  He wants to save Friday for prayers, social activities and agriculture.... and let’s not forget sleeping President Jammeh!

This sounds like a great idea but not so great for those who require their services in the much reduced working week. The workers will still have a 40-hour working week, since they clock in at 8am and clock out at 6pm. Yet I’m sure customers will struggle to come to terms with the change in the typically western working week.

 

Here at Edward Baden, we are not only available every Friday, but offer our services to you at the weekend as well. We are flexible to the individual requirements of each business and understand that Monday- Friday sometimes just isn’t enough... let alone Monday-Thursday!

 

Our 24/7 service allows you to relocate in company downtime whether that be on Sunday or at 2 am on Wednesday morning. We offer a service that is easy and convenient for you. Contact us here for more information!
