Frugi and Little Clothes Big Change
Frugi has hit the £1 million mark for its Little Clothes Big Change charity project. The initiative sees Frugi commit 1% of its yearly turnover to charities. Having backed many causes across its three pillars – Hunger, Shelter and Nature – Frugi currently supports Eco-Schools and LEAF. And, since 2020, Frugi has funded the Eco-Schools Green Flag certification fees for 150 schools across England as well as training for 500 teachers to become Eco-Coordinators with Eco-Schools. The £1 million charity milestone also means that Frugi has sold over £100 million worth of GOTS certified organic clothing since the brand’s inception in 2004. 85% of Frugi’s products are made of GOTS cotton, which uses no chemicals and less water, and is traceable, ensuring that suppliers and their workers are treated fairly.The remaining 15% of products are made from old polyethylene (PET) plastic bottles that have been spun into yarn to make a durable, water-proof fabric for outerwear, accessories, and swimwear.
Ben and Sytner Group
Sytner Group is continuing its support for automotive charity, Ben, donating £100,000 to help it carry on its work. The charity has lost over £1.5m worth of budgeted income during the pandemic. Sytner Group’s contribution will help the charity keep providing professional and specialist services for people in need. It has increased its impact by more than 30% in the last 12 months with its target to do much more than that in 2022, to meet the rise in demand. In the last 18 months, its focus has been on increasing its mental health services and offering these in a range of ways, since over half of the people getting in touch with the charity are enquiring about mental health or wellbeing issues.
Cystic Fibrosis Trust & PureTec
Cystic Fibrosis Trust has partnered with PureTec (also known as Exercise.co.uk), which is donating £5 from every sale of its Davina exercise bike. The charity was chosen because of personal ties to a member of the team whose sister was born with Cystic Fibrosis. Exercise.co.uk has also been raising money through employee fundraising and posting articles on its website to educate customers on the importance of exercise for people with the condition.
