Stephen paper sales keep kids cooking

Spicers Paper donates $100 for every tonne of Stephen stock sold to trainee cooks at the Fifteen Foundation.

The announcement was made at the Fifteen restaurant in Melbourne last month, drawing the attendance of 150 designers and print managers. Fifteen was founded by UK celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, in 2001 as a social enterprise to give young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to undertake a chef apprenticeship.

"Our involvement with Fifteen is an exciting and inspirational partnership that can ultimately assist with transforming young lives," said Richard Collins, national marketing manager of Spicers Paper.

Spicers Paper has also teamed up with design company Studio Pip & Co; photographer Earl Carter; writer Andrew Pegler and printers Gunn & Taylor to create the booklet, Make a difference – sponsor the Fifteen Foundation, in an attempt to allow Fifteen to attract new sponsors. Stephen stock is also donated for Fifteen's menus and other printed collateral and the Spicers sales teams will be spreading the Fifteen Foundation message to the community.

"We hope all our designers, printers and corporate clients appreciate the value of Fifteen's work and choose Stephen for their printed communications wherever possible," Collins said.
