**UK Fundraising’s list in May of dozens of face masks that were being sold to raise
funds for charities has been one of the most popular pages on the site this year.
With Christmas coming up and more masks being produced, it’s time for another list
of face masks for charity.**

In May we listed nearly [50 different charity face masks and coverings](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/05/28/coronavirus-face-masks-that-raise-funds-for-charities/)
that were being sold by or to benefit charities. Here are some of the new entrants

The Paul Hodges Trust is a “tiny, targeted, high impact charity” working in Ghana,
Tanzania, Uganda and Sierra Leone, turning adversity into an opportunity to benefit
the environment, some of the world’s poorest women and girls, and to protect the
UK using the latest research in coronavirus protection. 

They are now selling African-made ethical face masks in vibrant local prints and
premium mulberry silks, often from upcycled, ethical sources such as donated premium
offcuts and local Ghanaian markets, to offset the potentially ruinous economic impacts
of Covid.

The Trust’s [Face Masks For Better Futures](https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ThePaulHodgesTrust)
initiative fights against more devastating outcomes through mercantile economic 
stimulation while responding to a real community need for virus protection. The 
reusable products themselves campaign against single use plastics, and the risk 
posed to our environment through the proliferation of discarded disposable masks,
on both sea and land.

Together with partner grassroots projects, the Trust has co-developed a luxury, 
quality, highly-resilient face mask that utilises the latest scientific research
on the outstanding antiviral properties pure silk in protecting against Covid-19.

 Charity 
founder Jenny Carlen explains: “I was just struck how Face Masks For Better Futures
has multiple indisputable benefits. We are building so many positive impacts from
a challenging situation. It really is a demonstration of how a small amount of well-
targeted support can have huge impact, and launch a whole new initiative. We really
are changing the world with each mask we sell in place of disposable environmental
hazards.”

African print cotton masks cost from £7.50, with 100% mulberry silk masks from £
22. For each mask you buy, three more will be donated to the African communities
The Paul Hodges Trust works within.

Need proof that coverage on UK Fundraising generates sales and business? We were
very pleased to hear from Emily at Paul Hodges Trust about the reaction our May 
coverage of their masks generated:_“Since Howard Lake of UK Fundraising featured
The Paul Hodges Trust, spotlighting our cause educating and empowering women in 
Africa, we have had a steady interest in visits and sales from our online store 
ever since the article’s publication in May. Direct traffic, we suspect through 
this article, brought 84% of the Trust’s Etsy store visits that month.”_
