Local family business celebrates second anniversary with free kitchen giveaway – and you could be the lucky winner!
Cambridge-based family business, Kitchen Makeovers, is marking its second anniversary in the most generous way possible – by giving back to the community that helped them grow. To celebrate two years of transforming tired kitchens into dream spaces, husband-and-wife team Colin and Michelle Blackburn are launching a special giveaway to gift one deserving local resident a brand-new kitchen worth £10,000! The initiative invites people across the CB postcode to nominate someone they believe truly deserves a fresh start at home – whether they’ve faced a tough time, gone above and beyond for others or are simply in need of a helping hand.
“We’ve been thinking about doing a giveaway like this for a while, but we didn’t just want to hand out a kitchen at random – it had to go to someone truly deserving,” said Colin. “We know how much of a difference a new kitchen can make, especially for someone who might not otherwise be able to afford one. That’s why we’re going all in – the kitchen will be worth £10,000, which is more than our average job, because we want this to really mean something to the person who wins.”
Entering is simple. From Sunday 27th July, people can head to Kitchen Makeovers Cambridge’s Facebook, Instagram or TikTok pages and click through to a nomination landing page. There, you can nominate someone you believe deserves a brand-new kitchen – you’ll just need their name, contact details and a short explanation of why they should win•.
“We’ve always been passionate about supporting our local community – whether it’s sponsoring sports teams, getting involved in events like charity football matches or backing brilliant causes like the Just George charity. This giveaway felt like the next step – the biggest way we could give something back. We’ve had amazing support from our suppliers too, with some even donating materials for the makeover. It’s become a real team effort, and we can’t wait to do something truly special for someone in our area,” added Michelle.
Once nominations close at the end of August, Colin and Michelle will create a shortlist of standout entries – those that truly capture the spirit of the giveaway. Everyone shortlisted will be contacted for more details, including photos and videos of the nominee’s current kitchen, to help paint the full picture. From there, one final winner will be chosen to receive the £10,000 kitchen transformation – with the big reveal coming soon after!
“We’re so excited to finally bring this idea to life and do something that could genuinely change someone’s day-to-day. It’s a big project for a small, family-run business like ours, but the support we’ve had already – from our suppliers and the community – has been incredible. If all goes well, we’d love to turn this into an annual tradition. Giving back to the people who’ve supported us from the very beginning just feels like the right way to celebrate each milestone,” said Colin.
