It’s easy to feel totally overwhelmed by the various humanitarian crises around the globe, and most prominently at this moment in Ukraine. That in 2022 such an unconscionable war is taking place is hard to comprehend.
There are so many acts of kindness and humanity happening right now - knowing you can make a direct positive impact can really help.
That’s why throughout March we’re donating £5 from every sale on our website and an extra £5 from every sale over £100 to Choose Love.
Working with carefully vetted partners, Choose Love have already committed over one million pounds to provide:
- Medical care & supplies
- Hygiene kits
- Evacuation support
- Emergency shelter
- Fuel & lorries to transport aid and clothing
- Food
- Long term accommodation programmes
- Translation services
- Legal support
- Inclusion & welcome programmes
- Arrival support for BIPOC
- Arrival support for LGBTQIA+ people
