Black Friday has changed.

What was once a single day of offers has become weeks of discounts, promotions and marketing messages. For many shoppers it can feel overwhelming, with businesses competing to shout louder than everyone else.

This year, we decided to do something a little different.

From 13th November through to Cyber Monday, every Treat Kitchen order over £30 will trigger a £1 donation to Double Impact, a Nottingham charity helping people recover from addiction and rebuild their lives.

Customers will also receive 15% off their order throughout the campaign, increasing to 20% off on Black Friday itself.

Why Double Impact?

The answer is simple.

Jess and Martin first became aware of Double Impact more than ten years ago through Café Sobar on Friar Lane.

Over the years, they've learned more about the incredible work the charity does supporting people recovering from drug, alcohol and gambling addiction. What makes Double Impact unique is its lived experience approach. Many of the people supporting those in recovery have experienced recovery themselves.

The results speak for themselves.

Families are reunited. People find work again. Individuals secure housing. Confidence returns. Service users become volunteers and volunteers become support workers.

Lives are transformed.

Doing Business for Good

At Treat Kitchen, we've always believed businesses should be part of the communities they serve.

Over the years we've supported Base 51, Stonebridge City Farm, the Canal & River Trust and Basket Brigade alongside a range of smaller local initiatives.

This campaign reflects something that's important to us: doing business, but doing business for good.

How You Can Help

There are several ways you can support:

• Shop with Treat Kitchen during the campaign.
• Purchase a Gingerbread House Kit, which carries an ongoing 10% donation to Double Impact.
• Donate directly to Double Impact.
• Volunteer your time or expertise.
• Explore StrongerRoots Recovery Ally Training and learn how to support people in recovery.

Our hope is that this campaign will not only raise funds but also raise awareness of the amazing support available throughout Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

If one more person reaches out for help, supports a friend or family member, or learns more about recovery, we will consider this campaign a success.

Thank you for supporting local business and local people.
