Cadbury to donate proceeds from sale of Freddos to animals injured in Australian wildfires

After it was estimated that the Australian wildfires have killed more than a billion animals, Cadbury has stepped in to help.

It has announced that it will donate 100% of proceeds from the sale of Freddos, Caramello Koalas and Furry Friends in Australia to help animals injured in the fires.

It forms part of the Freddo and Friends for Bushfire Relief initiative and is set to last a week.

The kind-hearted bods at Cadbury have guaranteed that at least £380k will be donated to organisations helping Australian wildlife.
