Weekly Desh Desk, 24 May 2018: Tolly Boy is celebrating the work of 20 African and Bangladeshi community groups, around the UK as part of its Spread the Joy with Tolly Boy campaign.
The brand, which has been serving both communities since 1962, has unveiled the new initiative at a promotional launch at world food distributor Wanis International’s HQ in east London.

The campaign which begins on June 18th and runs until September 10th includes the Basmati, Long Grain and Easy Cook rice variants. With each purchase, a number of votes will become available for the consumer to assign to their preferred cause. The charity with the highest number of votes will receive funding of £10,000, with the first runner up receiving £5,000 and the second £2,500. Each of the remaining community groups will receive a contribution of £500 for their efforts towards their activity.
