This Christmas, we invite you to celebrate the season of giving by making a meaningful difference. Instead of purchasing one of our products, consider supporting one of these incredible charities that align with our ethos of community, sustainability, and compassion. Your gift can transform lives and bring hope where it’s needed most.
1. Recyke y’Bike
Recyke y’Bike has been refurbishing bicycles and empowering communities in the North East of England since 2006. By saving unwanted bikes from landfill, this charity:
-
Provides affordable and environmentally friendly transportation.
-
Teaches bike maintenance skills to help people become more self-sufficient.
-
Promotes physical and mental health benefits through cycling.
-
Supports disadvantaged individuals with free bikes and workshops.
Every donation helps them continue their mission of sustainability, health, and community development.
2. World Food Program
Donate to the World Food Program
Hunger is one of the most pressing global issues, yet it is solvable. The World Food Program reaches over 150 million people annually, providing lifesaving meals and addressing the root causes of hunger. Just one meal can be the difference between life and death for a child in need. Your contribution can:
-
Prevent starvation and malnutrition.
-
Support school meals to ensure children stay in education.
-
Help implement long-term solutions to end hunger.
This Christmas, your donation can bring hope and nourishment to those who need it most.
3. Re-Cycle: Bikes to Africa
For communities in rural Africa, a bicycle is more than just transportation; it’s a lifeline. Re-Cycle refurbishes bikes and sends them to Africa, where they provide:
-
Access to education by reducing the time and effort needed for students to reach school.
-
Support for healthcare workers to serve remote patients.
-
Economic opportunities for farmers and families.
Your support provides independence and opportunities to individuals and families, making a lasting impact.
4. APROP (Pego, Spain)
APROP holds a special place in our hearts, as it’s where we found our beloved dog. This charity rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes abandoned cats and dogs in Spain. With limited council funding, they rely on donations to:
-
Provide food, medical care, and shelter to animals in need.
-
Rehabilitate and find loving homes for abused and abandoned animals.
-
Raise awareness about responsible pet ownership.
By supporting APROP, you’re giving vulnerable animals a second chance at life.
5. Action for Children
In the UK, 4.3 million children now live in poverty—almost 1 in 3 children. This is the worst number ever recorded, with 100,000 more children in poverty last year alone. For many, Christmas brings little relief from their struggles.
Action for Children supports vulnerable children and their families every day through:
-
Providing essentials like warm clothes, hot meals, or special presents.
-
Ensuring children can experience the magic of Christmas.
-
Offering emotional and practical support to families in crisis.
By becoming a Secret Santa, you can give a child the gift of warmth, nourishment, and joy this festive season. Childhood is fleeting, but with your help, we can create lasting magical memories.
Why Choose to Donate This Christmas?
We believe that the true spirit of Christmas lies in spreading joy and compassion. By choosing to donate to one of these incredible organisations, you’re not just giving a gift; you’re creating ripples of positive change that will be felt far beyond the festive season.
This year, let’s make Christmas about balance—balancing our love for those close to us with our care for the world around us.
