**It’s Black Friday but there is plenty of charitable activity going on as well 
as heavy discounting and frenetic shopping. Here is a selection of some of the good
being done today by a range of companies.**

[Worthwhyle](https://www.worthwhyle.com/), which sells ethically produced cruelty-
free goods is taking a different tack to Black Friday this year. It is asking people
to pay 10% more, and the excess will go to charity. The charity (or charities) has
yet to be chosen, and is being left to its Instagram followers.

[Love Sweat and Tees](https://lovesweatandtees.com/) gave customers 25% off everything
on Thursday, and on Black Friday itself is giving 100% of its profits to Bowel Cancer
UK, which it also supports throughout the year by giving it 5% of its profits.

[Wuka](https://wuka.co.uk/) is having an Ethical Red Friday Sale instead, and for
every two pairs of period pants sold on Friday and Saturday will give a pair to 
a woman or girl in need in Nepal.
