Exquisite chocolates and truffles supporting women involved in the Scottish criminal justice system. Grace Chocolates founder, Joyce, began volunteering at the family Hub centre at Cornton Vale HMP and YOI when it opened in 2013. Until that point she had no involvement with the criminal justice system but hearing the stories of the women and their families touched her heart. By 2017 the idea of supporting the women through the making and selling of “exquisitely wrapped chocolates” had been planted. She began speaking with people who knew a thing or two about the criminal justice system and expected to be told it was a daft idea that would never work. On the contrary: everyone was full of encouragement and support. Some thought she was crazy but helped anyway and less than a year after the first conversation the first Grace Chocolates were being produced.

For every pair of bamboo socks sold, we give another pair to a homeless person.

One pair of socks might not change the world, but it’s a start.

Leiho are on a business mission to make purchasing more meaningful. They help provide the basic essentials that vulnerable communities need by giving you the opportunity to share one with another. Why? Because it’s cool to care!

Their journey begins with socks to help homeless people, because clean socks are the most requested item of clothing at homeless shelters. Most of us are fortunate enough to put on a clean pair of socks everyday but unfortunately this isn’t an option for some. Homeless people walk several miles a day to find food and shelter, so with limited access to laundry facilities, their foot health are at risk. Also… we all need a clean pair of socks!

They match every item sold with another donated.

They hope that by sharing basic essentials like a simple pair of socks with people who need it most, takes us all one step closer to fostering a positive difference.

Buying gorgeous clothes for a beautiful baby is one of life's pleasures.

But too many babies in the world have no one to give them clothes, or anything else. So at From Babies with Love, they do things differently.

Every penny of profit from their unique, ethically sourced designs goes to SOS Children, to build and run children’s villages around the world. And in these safe, happy places, abandoned and orphaned children can grow up in a loving family.

From Babies with Love is a Social Enterprise, a purpose-led brand.

Their vision is that every child grows up in a loving family, and together, because of your purchases, we’re so far helping 7,319 children around the world.

They think of the children as our shareholders, they drive our passion and our decisions. Instead of our profit going as a divided to a traditional shareholder, it goes to the children, via our parent charity, the From Babies with Love Foundation.

So far, together they've given over £100,000. Thank you!

The heirs of a long line of distillers, they keep French expertise alive while further developing their techniques with a view to excellence.

Elephant Gin is a German made spirit with a distinctly African heart. The distillery was founded with a view to raise funds for two Elephant charities – Big Life Foundation and Space for Elephants.

Reminiscing about the so-called ‘sundowner’ drinks after a day out in the South African bush. These sunset cocktails are a big tradition in South Africa – and more often than not, they consist of a G & T. The idea was backed by a mutual love of exotic African botanicals and a realization that would make it interesting addition to a premium gin, alongside more traditional botanicals such as juniper and orange peel.

Elephant Gin is distilled using 14 botanicals, including rare African ingredients that have not been used in gin-making before. The botanicals are hand-selected to limit any impurities and ensure only the highest quality ingredients are used. 

Focused on resolutely artisan production methods, all ingredients are carefully checked for any impurities – guaranteeing the optimal flavour profile. Without any artificial flavouring, Elephant Gin only uses locally sourced spring water to bring its products to their required alcoholic volumes.

Elephant Gin’s environmentally and socially sustainable production methods have been recognised by Positive Luxury, a company with a mission to close the trust gap between people and brands. They awarded Elephant Gin with their Butterfly Mark.
