A new partnership between a prominent local charity and a major restaurant group is set to bring a fresh stream of support to the Aberdeen community.
Instant Neighbour has announced a strategic charity partnership with Maki & Ramen, launched alongside the brand's newest UK location in Union Square.
The collaboration was officially unveiled at the restaurant's Friends & Family event, attended by local business and community leaders. The initiative establishes a sustainable fundraising model where commerce directly benefits local causes.
Under the agreement, £1 from every bowl of ramen sold between 4 PM and 8 PM every Monday will be donated directly to Instant Neighbour. The funds will support the charity’s vital work serving individuals and families across Aberdeen.
"We are profoundly grateful to Maki & Ramen for selecting us as their partner and for their forward-thinking commitment to corporate social responsibility," said Susan Cheyne, business development manager of Instant Neighbour. "This partnership provides a powerful, ongoing opportunity for the people of Aberdeen to contribute to local causes simply by enjoying an exceptional meal. The reliable support generated will make a significant and tangible difference to our work on the ground."
This partnership exemplifies how businesses can creatively embed social value into their operational model, fostering a stronger, more supportive local economy.
