The client brief
The JWT Finance team asked us to organise a charitable team building event to combine the learning of new skills with ‘give something back’ day.
Our solution
We developed and delivered a cookery event with a twist…the twist being that the team served up the fruit of their labours to the residents of the Salvation Army homeless hostel in Whitechapel. The hostel is a male only property which helps short term and long term homeless get back on their feet.
The finer details
JWT turned up at the shelter at 3pm and prepared the following menu to dish out to the residents before cleaning up the kitchen and dining area afterwards:
Smoked Haddock and chive fish cakes with home-made mayonnaise and watercress
Chicken ballontines stuffed with sultanas and almonds
On root vegetable puree, roasted potatoes and sage infused jus
Seasonal Fruit meringues
The client feedback
“Everyone had a very good day and found it very rewarding. It is definitely something we would do again… It was a really great idea and all of our staff came away very proud of their achievement and felt as though they had learnt something new.”
