Here are five products raising funds for charities: from gin to Yorkshire puddings and honey, and personalised pictures.
The Royal Wootton Bassett Gin Company & Combat Stress
The Royal Wootton Bassett Gin Company has announced it will be supporting Combat Stress through the sale of its Dauntless gin. The company will donate 10% of the profit from sales of the gin to help fund the work Combat Stress does to help former service men and women with mental health problems.

Aunt Bessie’s & Shelter
Aunt Bessie’s is celebrating National Yorkshire Pudding Day on 4 February by giving profits from sales of its Homestyle Yorkshires to Shelter. All profits from the specially printed packs will be donated and they are available in supermarkets from 28 January. Last year Aunt Bessie’s raised £20,000 for the charity and this year is hoping to double it.
