I gave up āself employmentā last year and now donate to various charities. It depends on the profits I make after I have taken out expenses, but I recently donated to a local womenās aid charity and have plans to donate to the local hospital next.

I donate to various greyhound rescue charities, and currently have my 5th rescue greyhound (only one at a time as bungalow is too small for more than one.)

I havenāt here yet but something Iām considering now sales have improved. I do sell items on the auction site and donate the funds to Ayr Guinea Pig Rescue so thatās my chosen cause - an amazing place with incredibly well looked after piggies.

We donate 25% of all our Poppy pieces to one of three charities:
The Royal British Legion
Help for Heroes
Blesma (The Limbless Veterans)
Every year, we release one new Poppy style, so there is something new for returning customers- itās their choice where the money goes, they just tell us at the check out.

Not at the moment but my sister helps run a toddler stay & play group (which obviously canāt operate at the moment) I have ārentedā a stall at a few of their coffee morning fundraisers (and usually sell quite a lot at them) they also have a box of my greeting cards which they put out on the counter where the tea/coffee are served at their meetings and they get to keep a percentage of sales. I also sometimes donate raffle prizes for other local fundraisers in our village.

I support a cat charity in Wales and buy a meal for a cat each time I sell something. At the end of the year I have bought quite a few meals.

I donāt sell for charity but (Pre-Covid and when we get back to normal) I belong to a local crochet/knitting group and we make lots of things for charity including blankets that go for palliative care.

Iāve been selling ceramics for my local foodbank via a Facebook page. I keep some things back for charity sales and keep them separate - they are not seconds, just different to what I want to put in my shop.
It worked OK to start with and I raised Ā£275 in a few months, but really FB doesnāt work very well for this and I canāt reach many new people, so Iād be interested to hear any other suggestions people have.

I occasionally send items to facebook auctions organised by charities. It helps generate money for them and Iām happy to contribute.
