  • As the weekend jingles closer, we’ve got a treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. Say a festive hello to our Camp Coffee Chocolate Truffles – a festive favourite made with our iconic Camp Coffee Essence. 🎅☕ We’ve included the recipe below, our gift to you! Happy truffle-making, The RH Amar Team ❤️🎄 👉 Ingredients you'll need: 275g dark chocolate (naughty or nice, it’s your choice!) 🍫 150ml double cream 25g unsalted butter 2 tbsp Camp Coffee Essence 125g white chocolate Edible gold leaf and gold shimmer powder (for tree-mendous sparkle!) 👩🍳 The method: Place 150g chopped dark chocolate in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Add the cream, butter and Camp Coffee essence and heat gently until just melted, stir until well combined. Cool and then chill until almost set, about 3-4 hours. Using a melon baller or teaspoon and using lightly oiled hands, mould into approx. 25 round balls and place on a tray lined with baking parchment. Chill until firm. Melt the remaining 125g dark chocolate and the white chocolate in 2 separate small bowls over 2 small saucepans of simmering water until melted. Allow to cool slightly. Dip half the truffles in the dark chocolate and half in the white chocolate, using 2 forks to completely cover. Place on a tray lined with baking parchment and again chill until set. To decorate, place gold leaf on the dark truffles using a clean dry paint brush and dust the white truffles with gold shimmer powder. Elf’s Tip 🧝 Try dusting half the truffles in cocoa and half in icing sugar for a frosted finish.   #CampCoffee  #DessertRecipes #ChocolateLovers #GrowingBrandsTogether

    🤝 Two weeks ago today, we hosted our very first Business Loop event. The Business Loop aims to empower businesses through partnerships, expanding knowledge and support in sustainability. By addressing social impact, inclusion, and environmental responsibility, it inspires SMEs to adapt and thrive. These conversations lay the foundation for change, driving positive, long-term impact for businesses and their stakeholders. The Stratstone Jaguar showroom in Reading was transformed into a business hub for the night, where marketing specialists mingled with distributors, energy experts, tech innovators, consultants and manufacturers. Along with the expert panel was RH Amar’s Strategy & CSR Director, James Amar. A FuturePlus client, James shared how their efforts started as well-intentioned individual initiatives like green committees, digitisation, and community engagement. They evolved into a structured approach they simply call "Doing Business Better." This framework now guides decision-making across their entire operation, so sustainability isn't an add-on – it's a better way of doing business. For RH Amar,  supply chain challenges that used to be 'once in a while' are becoming increasingly commonplace - which is why future-proofing is not a nice-to-have but crucial. Other takeaways from our panel included: 📈 Starting with Measurement: Doug Johnson (Mesh Energy) advocated for a data-driven approach, sharing how a £400 investment led to 30% electricity savings. Our co-founder Mike Penrose also emphasised the benefits for tailored, quantifiable roadmaps for businesses. ✏️ Storytelling for Change: Ben Morgan (Circular Accountants) emphasised using metaphors and forward-focused narratives to inspire and anchor transformation. 🚘 Local Knowledge: Clare Sharp (Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership) provided an update on  Berkshire’s electrification plans including 6,500 new public EV charge points starting in 2025, and available practical support like EV grants and salary sacrifice schemes. The Business Loop event series is just the start. In 2025, FuturePlus will host more events, helping businesses nationwide future-proof in a rapidly changing world. 🙌 A huge thank you to our event partners, Stratstone and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), as well as our panel of experts. - #Sustainability #SustainableBusiness #TheBusinessLoop

    It's been a year since we launched the Young Futures Fund! In that time we have distributed over £100k to individuals and organisations supporting children and young people. We have funded projects ranging from football sessions for young female refugees, to trauma informed counselling to prevent homelessness, as well as awarding funding to individuals at the beginnings of their entrepreneurial journeys. Our participatory funding model is a collaborative approach that actively involves individuals in the decision-making process of distributing funds. To do this, we appointed our Youth Board. Filled with young people from a range of different backgrounds, they each bring a fresh and unique perspective to our grants panel meetings. We spoke to a small selection of our Youth Board to ask them why they wanted to join us. #YoungFuturesFund #YoungFutures #YouthFunding #Youth #Funding #Community #Buckinghamshire
