Our impact
Since 2018, with the help of our amazing supporters, we have been able to raise over £750,000 for more than 100 charities who help others all over the world. Not only this, our products have helped raise the profile of these causes and introduced people to charities they never knew existed. By spreading kindness with our range, we have been able to educate thousands of people about the wonderful work that can be done when you open up to change at Christmas. Thank you for being a part of our mission to make the world a better place.
“The support from Advent of Change was enough to provide 257 children with their very own memory box. These beautiful boxes are used to store treasured objects, helping children to remember their loved one in a way that is personal to them. This is a priceless gift to provide a grieving child and just one reason why we’re so incredibly grateful for the support of Advent of Change!”

“Due to the funds that Advent of Change enabled, Shivia can provide the equivalent of 275 life-changing poultry toolkits to extremely poor women in West Bengal, India. With these kits and training, the women can start and run a poultry enterprise from home. They gain dignity, confidence, respect and additional income which they invariably spend on their children offering them a brighter future than they themselves had."

Thank you.”

“The partnership with Advent of Change has made a significant difference to the Road Victims Trust and those we support. The monies raised have part-funded a promotional film, that in-turn has galvanised support for the work we do. Each year we support in excess of 500 people whose lives have been devastated by a road death. This support is only possible due to the generosity and insight of many people, and we are proud to work alongside Advent of Change!”

Seeing when patients getting better due to my treatment.”

“The money helped us to set up our Mentor Scheme, which has been created and delivered by our Volunteer Coordinator, Katya Clifford. The funds have helped us to produce and deliver a training programme to volunteers to prepare them to provide support and friendship to the men who use our service. We will also be in a position to offer support and supervision to these mentors as they work with our service users as an additional form of help to the therapeutic intervention we offer”

“We’re really delighted to tell you that thanks to your generous support not only could the Murakaza School be rebuilt after the storm it has been able to build kindergarten rooms, providing 94 places to give the youngest children in the community a good start in life. Altogether we have 260 children at the Murakaza School and Kindergarten, so we now have four teachers plus three nursery teaching assistants, and one assistant in first primary. And now – thanks to YOU – we have started the Porridge project. No more empty tummies and children too weak to learn.”
