Give Back Friday!

Give Back Friday!

As has become tradition at The Drifting Bear Co. we willĀ be giving 10% of our sales to charity this Black Friday weekend. Every year we choose a charity close to our hearts, and with the current cost of living crisis weĀ wanted to pick an organisationĀ working hard to help those who need it most. So this year we will be donating to The Trussell Trust.

The Trussell Trust supports a nationwide network of food banks and provides emergency food and aid to people locked in poverty. The ultimate goal is for a future without the need for food banks,Ā until thenĀ they will continue to support those who cannot afford to eat.

To learn more about their good work check out their website here.

Of course we also want to thank you, our customers, and that is why we are offering anĀ additional 10% off to 'give back' to you too. 10% off for you and 10% to charity, it's a win win (and if you include the trees we plant too, that's a win win win!)

So how does ourĀ offer work? Here's what you need to know:

ThisĀ promotion applies to our personalised productsĀ sold through our websiteĀ and will run from 00:01 on Friday 25th until Monday 28th November at 23:59, so be quick! The discount will automatically apply at the checkout so no need for a code.

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to get in contact, simply hop on to live chat and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

January - Tree update

January - Tree update

Thanks to all the orders placed by our lovely customers on our website this January, we are delighted to have donated a number of trees to be planted in Rwanda.

The trees planted will help a women's cooperative, led by a local farmer Agnes Uwifashije, to revive land in Mukura. Planting trees will help add nutrients to soil, while controlling run-off erosion. When properly managed, these trees will provide the local farmers with firewood, climbing bean poles and fodder for their animals. For food security and income generation, farmers will also plant avocado, lemon, and tree tomatoes.

If you placed an order this month - Thank you!

Give back Friday

This year we've decided to do things a little differently. This Black Friday we want to help those who have nothing atĀ Christmas.

Crisis UK work all year round supporting the homeless. A donation to theirĀ 'Crisis at Christmas' campaign ensures the people they support have a warm welcome and good company, three nutritious hot meals daily (including a delicious Christmas dinner), a bed for the night, a chance to shower and get clean clothes, a health check and treatment from a doctor, optician or dentist, expert help with mental health and addiction problems and advice on housing, employment and benefits, and most importantly a way out of homelessness for good through Crisis' year round training, education and support.

When you use code TENFORTEN at the checkout, we will give you 10% off your order and we will also donate a further 10% to Crisis UK. If you would rather us give the full 20% to Crisis, use the code TWENTYFORTHEM.

Offer applies to orders over Ā£20 from 23rdĀ - 26thĀ November 2018.
