Kelp forests are vital for ocean health, absorbing carbon and supporting marine life.
Just 49p supports carbon-capturing kelp to fight climate change and protect marine biodiversity.

Plant a tree somewhere in the world where its most needed- from regenerating forests lost to wildfires to supporting sustainable reforestation projects in vulnerable regions.
Just 39p = 1 tree planted in your name through trusted global partners.

Donate to help local shelters and food banks.
Make a direct impact in someone's life with a small act of kindness. Every donation helps us buy food, hygiene products, and essential items for those facing hardship- including local shelters, food banks, and families in need.
