Charity

We have always been passionate about giving back and working closely with charities at Sophie Allport. Each charity we support is remarkable in what they do, whether that’s raising awareness, funding research, working with conservation, or helping to make a difference in the world we live in.

We have six charity partners, which we support each year. These partners are ZSL (Zoological Society of London), The National Trust, The Stroke Association, The National Garden Scheme, Buglife and The Royal Hospital Chelsea. Not only do each of these charities reflect on our core values, but they coordinate beautifully with our love for nature, people and the planet and have been chosen carefully because of what they mean to us.

"Supporting different charities has always been a part of our Sophie Allport story, and we are so pleased to be able to work alongside these incredible charities. Each means so much to us in different ways. Raising funds to help these causes is so vital and key so they can continue to focus on their work in making our world a better place."

Community

Supporting our community is important to us, and quite often our staff are at the heart of this. We have a variety of different ways that we help support, give back and spread kindness through the community.

  • We support staff in the community by contributing 25% to any funds raised for charities up to a value of £250 per employee per year

  • We raised £4,200 for The Wildlife Trusts by donating 10% of net sales from online orders over 4 days in August 2023

  • Each Sophie Allport staff member receives a paid day in the community to volunteer with a charity or community group of their choice

  • Our Christmas card campaign raised £12,000 in 2023, supporting The Wild at Heart Foundation, The National Garden Scheme, Buglife, The Ruth Strauss Foundation and The Stroke Association

  • We support the local community, including local schools and events as well as the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance

  • We have raised £6,700 since 2020 with a bespoke collection for the Ruth Strauss Foundation, which supports families facing the death of a parent & drives the need for more research into non-smoking lung cancers

Over £400,000 raised in six years

We have paid over £400,000 in the past six years to a wide range of charitable organisations, and we are so proud of this achievement. We couldn’t have done it without the support from each and every one of our customers and staff. Every penny raised makes a difference, and we are committed to continuing to support our chosen charities. We are passionate about making a difference for people, the planet and nature, and we hope you’ll join us on this journey.
