Barry M & Young Lives vs Cancer
Barry M has launched a limited edition Nail Paint inspired by young cancer patient Esme, 9 from Surrey, to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer. The 9-year-old started a manicure fundraising challenge from her hospital bed at the Royal Marsden while having cancer treatment. She has so far raised over £11,000 for the charity by painting her dad’s nails every week and encouraging friends and family to paint their dad’s, brother’s, grandad’s, uncle’s nails too. Barry M learnt of their challenge and has created a limited edition Nail Paint, named by Esme, to encourage people to take part and help raise money too. ‘Esme’s Deep Marine’ is available to buy for £3.99 on BarryM.com.
Kraken Rum & PADI AWARE
International marine conservation charity PADI AWARE has estimated it would take over 16.7 million years for its divers to remove all plastic pollution from the world’s oceans. To raise awareness of the impact of litter caused by staycationing Brits and to fund its work, it has partnered with Kraken Rum to launch a protest ice cream topped with 3D-printed edible toppings representing the top polluters in the ocean. The two organisations are encouraging thousands of people up and down the UK to tuck into its protest ice cream, dubbed The Kraken ‘Ice Clean’ in exchange for a £1 donation to PADI AWARE.
