We are constantly looking for greener ways to package our beads. Our Internet Orders are packaged in Jiffy Bubble Mailers made from paper sourced from sustainable forests, and the pretty pink carrier bags we give out in our shop are made from 100% recycled paper. We have a large recycling bin outside our shop into which we put all our paper and cardboard. If you order from our website you'll also see that we often send out your internet orders in reused cardboard boxes.
We do not sell any natural coral beads as this contributes to the destruction of the worlds beautiful coral reefs.
We donate a percentage of our profits every year to charity - this year we donated £1500 to UNICEFs Child Protection Programme - UNICEF works with families, communities and governments in more than 190 countries worldwide to protect and promote the rights of children. In 2010 we donated £1000 to UNICEF and in 2009 we donated over £700 to charity, including £500 to War on Want and various other small amounts to local charities including local Pre-Schools and Cancer Charity Fund Raisers.
We also purchase a beautiful range of fair trade beads called Acholi Beads which support the Acholi Tribes Women in Uganda and mean that they are now able to send their children to school with the income that they earn from the production of the Acholi Beads.
