In 2019 we started donating some of our surplus office Tech to charities and groups that Lush support. The laptops and computers we donate provide invaluable tools for groups to facilitate their day to day admin, campaigning and most importantly provide learning tools for volunteers and service users. For some groups and service users, they are a lifeline to the outside world.
Some of the donations have been sent to groups who have applied to Charity Pot and Spring prize, by donating our surplus Tech they can use the funds on other much-needed resources. Altogether we donated to 8 of these charities.
2019 saw some lovely donations to causes that were in need of furniture, Boots, Clothing and Toys.
In particular, Help Bristols Homeless charity benefited from some lovely chairs and coffee tables that were no longer needed at Dolphin Quays.
