Capitalise on the positive benefits of Branded Clothing!
The use of branded corporate clothing for your staff conveys professionalism for your organisation and is an effective way
to increase brand awareness. It is also a proven and very cost effective way of creating a team ethic within your workplace.
Branded clothing is also a great way of publicising an event, fundraising, or to reward staff & donors. By using branded clothing in this way you will continue to gain publicity long after the event, it is a long-term tool and an excellent brand awareness driver. People like brands that other people are committed to and what shows commitment more than wearing the T-shirt!
Garments can be decorated in a variety ways depending on your requirements. Clothing can be embroidered with your logo or printed with your event details or key message. A wide range of clothing can be supplied to fit any need. KC inks can supply all your promotional and corporate wear.

Insurance
Our specialist Charities & Care Home division originated from our years of experience, knowledge and expertise in the Charities & Care sector. This has enabled us to become the preferred brokers to the English Community Care Association and the Charities Buying Group. In addition to our specialist Care Home team, our Pro Med division is involved in the following healthcare sectors: • Charities • Clinical Commissioning Groups • Healthcare Service Providers • Medical, Dental and Optical Consultants • Medical Device Manufacturers Our approach has always been to obtain a thorough understanding of your business, breaking down each product and/or service to identify the exposures attached. An important aspect of our review is to fully understand your relationship with clients, suppliers and other stakeholders in the business in order to assess your potential liabilities, contractual or otherwise. We recognise that for a charity or care home owner, managing existing risks whilst understanding shifting insurance regulation presents a challenge in addition to those faced in the day to day management of the business. We believe that by working closely with our clients to understand their unique circumstances, we can tailor cover to fit each client’s business needs and help them understand and deal with challenges of risk management and changing legislation.
Additionally in any situations good risk management and business continuity plans are able to reduce risks to such an extent that premiums are substantially lower than they would otherwise have been. Our exclusive insurance product includes the following services: • Business Continuity Planning • IT Secure back up – CQC acknowledged • Health & Safety virtual Risk Management System • HR virtual Risk Management System • E-learning

"The CBG has introduced us to suppliers who have a genuine commitment in supporting small charities. BCT is a living testimony that the suppliers who are members of the CBG offer quality, competitive prices and after sales service, which has played a pivotal role in strengthening the bond between BCT and CBG. As a small charity where cost and time is paramount, having a 'one stop shop' has been invaluable to us. We are very grateful for all that CBG is doing and has done for us and would strongly recommend any charity to join CBG. The integrity and excellency of CBG makes it a pleasure for me to give the highest recommendation to anyone who is planning to join the Charities Buying Group”.
Brenda Hunt - Office Manager - The Bethany Children's Trust
"The Charities Buying Group is wonderful news for all not-for-profit organisations, not just registered charities, because thanks to their buying contacts, expertise, knowledge and experience they can ensure reduced costs across a wide range - from stationery to utility bills, and from insurance to equipment purchase. Quite
simply, it makes sense to call in the expertise of the Charities Buying Group. The money saved is money that can be put to the purposes of which the charity or organisation was set up to undertake"
Sir Bob Russell - MP for Colchester
“Our management team fully support the Charities Buying Group and all that they do for the not for profit Sector and, we have no hesitation in recommending them as a thoroughly reliable and ethically based organisation"
David Wright – Business Manager - Global Connections
"We have used the Charities Buying Group for a number of years now. We have always found the service courteous and professional. One of the main areas we have used their expertise was in our catering department. By using the Charities Buying Group we have saved a huge amount on our current food spend even keeping our existing suppliers. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations"

We have found the CBG to be fair and reputable in its dealings in order to achieve the best deals for its clients whilst recognising the business needs of their suppliers. The client base has grown and continues to grow steadily with charities enrolling on a regular basis”
Shaun Hurley – Managing Director - Purchasing Support Services

The dedication of the CBG staff has helped with much business whilst at the same time helping CBG members make considerable cost savings for their charity over the years and most importantly retains it. I have no hesitation in recommending you consider becoming a charity member or supplier”
