Share Life’s Party - Yes, we CAN!!!

Thursday 19th October 2023

On Monday 16th, Amscan UK, part of the Wonder group, joined forces with the community of Milton Keynes to participate in the MK Can Food Bank event; A Guinness World Record for the longest length of tin cans!

Over the past few weeks, the Amscan UK employees have been gathering items from the charities shopping list, to help prepare for the event.
 
Together with 99 other businesses, 20 local schools, 30 churches and faith groups, 50 community organisations and 25 charities, the Amscan UK Share Life’s Party team participated in the event held at Campbell Park Milton Keynes, which saw over 102,000 cans collected for the MK Food Bank.
 
The 10km route successfully broke the standing record and has also led to fulfilling just over half of the canned food that the MK Food Bank needs for an entire year. During 2023, demand increased by almost 40% over the same period last year and the number of households receiving support doubled.
 
With this in mind, we’ve also decided to keep our food collection scheme open for the foreseeable future, so we can continue to support the local community.
 
“This has been a wonderful project for Amscan UK to be involved with.

For our colleagues, the simplest of gestures has provided a significant impact for our local community, which is the very essence of our Share Life’s Party team.

We are really looking forward to the next community initiative the committee of Amscan volunteers set for us, and to how we can continue to Share Life’s Party and support as many community projects as possible.” Lisa Norris, Commercial Director, Amscan UK.
 
You Can, We Can, Amscan!
