Raspberry Ice has been chosen as the new KitchenAid charity colour, and a brand-new suite of four iconic appliances has been specially created in this vibrant shade. Taking its inspiration from the colour of the global pink ribbon campaign, Raspberry Ice is a brighter interpretation of the ribbon and proceeds from sales of appliances within the suite will go to UK breast cancer charity The Haven.

Looks good… does good

This is not the first time that KitchenAid has supported breast cancer. For over a decade, the company’s Pink Product range (a lovely pastel pink), has supported breast cancer charities in Europe the USA. This brand new suite in hot pink has been created for homemakers who want to kit out their kitchen with a co-ordinating range of kitchen electricals, whilst showing support for the breast cancer cause. The Raspberry Ice suite is comprised of the 4.8 Litre Artisan Stand Mixer, the award-winning Magnetic Drive Blender, the stylish 1.5 Litre Artisan Kettle and the 2-Slot Artisan Toaster. For every Raspberry Ice Stand Mixer and Magnetic Drive Blender purchased, KitchenAid will donate £50 to The Haven. For every Raspberry Ice Kettle and Toaster sold, KitchenAid will donate £20.

Breast Cancer – some facts and figures

Nearly 58,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK - that’s about one person every 10 minutes.
For women in the UK, breast cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer.
In their lifetime, 1 in 8 women in the UK will develop breast cancer.
Each year around 11,500 people in the UK will die from breast cancer.
Although rare, breast cancer also affects men - with around 330 men diagnosed each year.
The older you get the higher the risk of developing breast cancer. Over 80% of women who develop breast cancer are over 50. Most men are over the age of 60.
But it is not all bad news – around 85% of people survive breast cancer beyond five years.

The Haven

The Haven is a national charity founded by Sara Davenport in 1997. It provides personalised support and care for people with breast cancer and helps them achieve the best possible quality of life. Sara’s idea for the charity came about after the experience of a close family friend who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Sara was concerned by the lack of available information and emotional support for anyone diagnosed with the disease at that time. Her belief that ‘no-one should have to face breast cancer alone’, led Sara to sell her art business and focus her energy into creating The Haven. The first centre opened in London in 2000 and since then Havens have been opened in Hereford (2004), Yorkshire (2008) and Wessex (2015). The Worcestershire Haven has just opened its doors this year and more are planned across the country in the upcoming years. So whether you have just been diagnosed with breast cancer, are currently having or have just finished having treatment for it, have a partner, relative or close friend with breast cancer or are concerned about breast cancer, The Haven is on hand to support you. Each centre exudes comfort, warmth and safety – three things that anyone who’s been through the anguish of a life-threatening disease will find paramount.
