The Big Sports Recipe Book
In other Olympic news, staff of construction materials company Lafarge Aggregates & Concrete UK have produced a recipe book to raise money for the Princes Trust, featuring recipes from top sportsmen and women.
Among the culinary delights are medal winning swimmer Rebecca Adlington’s banana and chocolate cake and England football captain Steven Gerrard’s chicken and broccoli fusilli. The Big Sports Recipe Book came about as an answer to a company-wide challenge for innovative ways to boost The Prince’s Trust, Lafarge’s partnership charity.
Steve Lea, Lafarge sales manager and a member of the Winning Recipe team, explained: “Lafarge entered into a partnership for a minimum of three years with the Prince’s Trust in 2009 committing to supporting the work of the charity with donations of time, resources and facilities. Since then employees have taken part in all sorts of fundraising activities, including adventure treks and sports events.
“One of our latest campaigns is the Million Makers Challenge which tasks teams of employees to come up with new and exciting ways to raise £1m for the charity. We had to pitch our idea to a Dragon’s Den-style panel at the Trust to gain an initial investment, then we had to implement our plan.”
The Big Sports Recipe Book is priced £10 with all net proceeds going to The Prince’s Trust. It is available to buy from Bene Factum Publishing by visiting:
