## ⏎ Advent of Change calendar

New Advent calendar, [the Advent of Change](https://www.adventofchange.com/) has
launched. It allows people to give something back as their count down to Christmas
with each door revealing a different donation to one of 24 charities, spread across
a number of causes including ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, Big Change, and Blue Cross.

£1 from each Advent of Change sold will go to a different charity every day in the
lead up to Christmas. Each door describes how the £1 could be used – from feeding
the homeless to protecting the oceans.

being sold as part of a partnership between the charity and [Jutexpo](https://www.jutexpo.co.uk/),

which turns the plastic into a durable and practical fabric called rPET (recycled
polyethylene terephthalate).

They are part of a range made by Jutexpo, with bags made out of juco, a blend of

with a minimum of £1 per bag donated by Sainsbury’s. The range was launched eight
years ago and has so far raised over £1million to aid the work of The Royal British
Legion.
