Equally Ours join forces with Advent of Change

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve joined forces with Advent of Change as one of their chosen non-profits for Christmas 2019.

Last year the celebrity-endorsed social enterprise Advent of Change launched the first-of-its-kind charity advent calendar. By the end of 2018, they had raised £100,000 for their 24 chosen charities, and even received an award from the Prime Minister in recognition of outstanding contribution to charitable causes.

This year the calendar is returning, alongside four brand new products. Equally Ours are proud to join Advent of Change as part of their 2019 Charity Advent Calendar.
