    Robin Hood Army has collaborated with Dentsu Creative and conceptualised #ExtendedGuestList, a soon-to-be-launched platform will empower people to proactively stop food from being wasted at weddings and other occasions.

     

    Said Neel Ghose and Sanchit Jain, founders of Robin Hood Army: “Robin Hood Army was founded on the principle of enabling every person to give back. And the #ExtendedGuestList is definitely a milestone in that journey. It is amazing to see celebrities come forward and do their bit and we’re thankful to Hansika Motwani for leading the way! Not only were we able to feed children surplus food from the wedding, but we now have a platform where anyone and everyone can save food proactively. We only hope that more and more people make their own #ExtendedGuestList for their weddings. To those who want to join us on this quest, I encourage you to volunteer with us!”

     

    Added Shray Chawla, Senior Creative Director, Dentsu Creative: “When Robin Hood Army approached us, and explained what they do, we knew we had to spread the word. Food wastage at Indian weddings is something no one talks about and we wanted to make it part of the conversation, but in a unique way. I’m glad we were able to work together with the Robin Hood Army to bring this platform alive. And kudos to the entire team for bringing a fresh perspective to food wastage. Here’s hoping more and more people plan for an #ExtendedGuestList at their weddings, not just in India but also globally given the footprint of Robin Hood Army.”

    Youva from Navneet Education Limited partnered with the Social Kinnect, a digital media house, and the Robin Hood Army on the occasion of Christmas to celebrate the festival with children from The Robin Hood Army NGO under the #MagicOfChristmas campaign.

     

    To spread the holiday cheer, and to emphasize the concept of giving back, Social Kinnect conducted fun activities full of art, festivity and the Christmas spirit like drawing, singing and tree decoration with around 100 children from The Robin Hood Army NGO in Mumbai.

     

    The Robin Hood Army is a volunteer-based, zero-funds organisation that works to get surplus food from restaurants and the community to serve less fortunate people. Their local chapters are run by friends and colleagues, who hope to create a difference in their own unique way. Their “Robins” are largely students and young working professionals – everyone does this in their free time. The lesser fortunate sections of society they serve include homeless families, orphanages, patients from public hospitals, and old age homes.

     

    Said Shailendra Gala, Director – Stationery Division, Navneet Education Limited: “Christmas is the day of giving and to celebrate love, togetherness and community. Youva from Navneet has always worked towards empowering the youth in achieving their goals. We partnered with Social Kinnect to give the kids brought together by The Robin Hood Army gift hampers. It was great to see the enthusiasm among the little ones participating and celebrating the Christmas cheer.”
