The Crisis Pud ñ an employee gift that keeps on giving

What better way of rewarding hard-working employees than with a Christmas gift that not only tastes good and ëdoesí good, but also gives them the chance of winning a fantastic array of unique prizes including tickets to Pudstock - an intimate acoustic gig featuring Supergrass, Graham Coxon and Ed Harcourt.

The Crisis Pud ñ a specially branded luxury Harrods Christmas pudding ñ gives homeless people the chance to make a new start in 2007, while also providing staff, suppliers and clients with an original gift that stands out from the usual wine, calendars and corporate pen sets weíve come to expect.

Every pudding purchased will give a homeless person a Christmas dinner ëwith all the trimmingsí at this yearís Crisis Open Christmas, helping them to take the first steps towards rebuilding their lives.

And ëall the trimmingsí is not just sprouts and gravy but also the opportunity to see a doctor, dentist, receive clothing, have their hair done, see a counsellor and enrol in a range of year round activities to help them take control of their lives and move on to further education, volunteering and employability.

Every recipient will enjoy a dessert as delicious as it is ethical, and the most fortunate one hundred will find a ëlucky sixpenceí contained within. Finders of the sixpence are automatically entitled to choose from a range of fantastic prizes, including tickets to an exclusive, money-canít-buy acoustic set: ëPudstockí.

Taking place in January at Proud Galleries, the evening will feature live performances from some of Britainís most celebrated indie talent, including Supergrass, Pearl Lowe, Graham Coxon, and Ed Harcourt.

Other prizes on offer include donated hampers from Harrods, signed books by renowned authors and a one-off black lace baby dress designed by Pearl Lowe, ensuring thereís something for everyone.

Andy Page, head of fundraising for Crisis comments: ì We believe that everybody deserves a second chance, and the work that Crisis does provides this hope. Itís not just about taking people off the street, but giving them back the confidence, skills and self-esteem to change their lives in the long term. The benefits of the Crisis Pud will last way beyond the Christmas dinner table.î
