Charities give thanks for mugs donation

Marketing Derby Bondholder charities have expressed their gratitude after being donated hundreds of mugs made from bamboo.

Tech firm Barron McCann was gifted the 1,600 mugs – created by British homeware and gifting company Milly Green – by Hampshire-based Cable Talk, which is part of the Barron McCann group of companies.

Each mug is made from 100% bamboo and is fully recyclable.

The firm has distributed them to local charities including YMCA Derbyshire, Treetops Hospice, Derby County Community Trust and Bridge the Gap so that they can enjoy a hot drink and know that they are doing their bit for the planet.

Paul Taylor, community relationship co-ordinator at YMCA Derbyshire, said: “We are extremely grateful to Barron McCann for this kind donation.

“We will be able to use the mugs to bring a smile to participants of the various projects we run here at the YMCA.

“Our health and wellbeing team will be able to use the mugs for their sessions and I know that they will be most welcome down at our Wilmorton Community Gardens.”
