Black Friday with a charity twist

It’s Black Friday but there is plenty of charitable activity going on as well as heavy discounting and frenetic shopping. Here is a selection of some of the good being done today by a range of companies.   https://twitter.com/Worthwhyle_UK/status/1062079383085694977 Worthwhyle, which sells ethically produced cruelty-free goods is taking a different tack to Black Friday this year. It is asking people to pay 10% more, and the excess will go to charity. The charity (or charities) has yet to be chosen, and is being left to its Instagram followers.     https://ift.tt/2Rd9szG Love Sweat and Tees gave customers 25% off everything on Thursday, and on Black Friday itself is giving 100% of its profits to Bowel Cancer UK, which it also supports throughout the year by giving it 5% of its profits.     https://ift.tt/2POVKX3 Wuka is having an Ethical Red Friday Sale instead, and for every two pairs of period pants sold on Friday and Saturday will give a pair to a woman or girl in need in Nepal.     https://twitter.com/HorseCharity/status/1064941539007365121 Harry Hall is donating £5 from every order it receives over £50 between 23-26 November to World Horse Welfare.     https://twitter.com/FatFace/status/1065212582099849216 FatFace is once again donating instead of discounting this Black Friday and giving £100,000 to the FatFace Foundation to help the charities it supports.     https://twitter.com/Likeys/status/1065211430050426880 Instead of discounting, Likeys is giving 10% of the day’s turnover to Mind.     https://twitter.com/pieminister/status/1065223037857996800 Pieminster is putting two of its pies in black pastry for Black Friday, calling it Black Pie Day, and donating the money to Shelter.     https://twitter.com/brokenriders/status/1065002561424498689 Everyone wins with provider of ethical mountain biker apparel Broken Riders – customers get 20% off their order, and 10% of all sales value from the day goes to Mind.     https://twitter.com/HOPE_UK/status/1064470786587721728 The Hope Foundation is discounting copies of Anglo Indian Recipes & Remedies by Bill Lethorn, with 100% of proceeds going to Hope.     https://twitter.com/Fundraisingwrks/status/1065235637920559104 Tech Trust and IBM are partnering to offer charities specially discounted rates on refurbished Apple products on a first-come first-served basis.     And finally, even Third Sector and Civil Society are getting in on the Black Friday action: https://twitter.com/ThirdSector/status/1065246453054889984 https://twitter.com/CSFundraising/status/1065550100506787840
