A brilliant charity advent calendar for kids! (Not an ad!)

For something a bit different, why not buy your kids or godchildren a charity advent calendar this year? I absolutely LOVE this one by Advent of Change (which you can also buy online from John Lewis ).  It supports 24 different charities (listed below), and each door represents a 50p donation to each charity. 85% of proceeds goes directly to the 24 chosen charities. What's more, it's also eco-friendly, plastic-free, fully recyclable and packaged in a biodegradable film... I've already bought one for my kids! They might be a bit disappointed they aren't getting a chocolate one (!) but I'm figuring when they learn about what they are supporting each day they will be really pleased. 

 

Advent of Change is a UK-based non-profit organisation with a mission: to create beautiful everyday products that make a positive impact on the world.

By buying this Advent of Change advent calendar, you join that mission, funding multiple charities with a single purchase and raising awareness of their amazing work – from protecting our oceans to providing food and medicine to those in need. 

The Children’s Advent Calendar is designed for the whole family to enjoy and understand – with bright colours and child-friendly language to help them learn about giving back whilst counting down to Christmas. Follow the rainbow-trail to help little ones locate each number. Just for fun, Santa’s tree decorations are hidden behind the doors.
