The Creatif Charitable Giving Programme

When we started Creatif in 2003, we set out some basic operating principles…we would treat our customers, staff and suppliers with respect and we would try to give something back. 

Now, giving something back is a worthy goal but rather general, so in 2012 we are starting a radical new initiative…the Creatif Charitable Giving Programme. It works like this… 

One of the most powerful words in the English language is ‘thank you’ so for every order we get we give you a gift. This is not a free lunch, it’s not expensive corporate entertainment, it’s simply a “thank you” for your interest in Creatif.  

And here’s where the really good stuff starts …for every £1 we spend on business gifts, we pledge to give the same amount to charity. 

Our promise is to raise a minimum of £20,000 in 2012 for charity. This money will be allocated out according to simple and transparent guidelines. A qualifying cause must… 

• Be registered with appropriate authorities, eg the Charity Commission.
• Be focused on education, health or support of disadvantaged persons.
• Have a community benefit which can be proven to improve quality of life. 

We will not contribute to charities which...

• Are politically motivated  
• Promote dangerous or unhealthy lifestyles

Suggestions from staff, suppliers or customers as to specific causes are very welcome but the final decision will always be taken by the partners of Creatif. We will publicise amounts given and to which charities on our website at regular intervals. All collections and distribution will be subject to auditing by our accountants, Broadhead Peel Rhodes.
