Spice Fusion becomes the charitable partner of Rainham Eco Hub's 'School Bike Rack Push' using Single Use Carrier Bag levy charges.
From 21 May 2021, existing Government legislation requires all retailers (big and small) to charge for single-use plastic bags. Since we package all our takeaway food in carrier bags, we will be charging a 20p levy on all orders. Unlike supermarkets, we appreciate that our customers don't choose when ordering a takeaway, so we want to donate the entire charge to the Rainham Eco Hub.
This charitable organisation serves to protect and improve the environment in Rainham.
“We estimate that this will generate an annual donation in the region of £2,000 to £2,500, and we know this will make a big difference.” Rajeev Gupte, Owner & Manager – Spice Fusion
It's National Bike Week from 30 May, and Rainham Eco Hub is encouraging school children to cycle to school. But to do this, they need bike racks to park their bikes. The Eco Hub is working with local schools to purchase and install new bike racks.
“We estimate that Spice Fusion’s contribution will easily cover the requirement by the end of the year, making a significant contribution to children's health and their outlook on the environment and the environment itself.” Kayleigh Ward – Rainham Eco Hub
We will also be reaching out to our colleagues in other local takeaway businesses to join forces with us to make an even more significant impact.
