With Christmas on its way, here’s a short round up of some of the Christmas corporate partnerships, from Nationwide’s support of Shelter’s carol concert to Dunelm’s festive sandwich, which is supporting three charities.
Vodafone Gift of Connection
Vodafone is asking people to join it in giving the others the gift of connection this Christmas. It has pledged to connect 1 million people living in digital poverty by the end of 2022. People can donate their old devices, even if they’re not a Vodafone customer, and Vodafone is working with charities to donate the data, calls and texts.

Saraband Books & greenspace scotland
greenspace scotland has been selected, alongside the Open Spaces Society, as Saraband Books charity partner for its Christmas fundraising initiative. Buying a Saraband Giving Green book bundles offers the opportunity to buy a book alongside a donation to the charities. The books come gift-wrapped with a personalised postcard, so the recipient knows a donation has been made in their name or people can give a voucher so the recipient can choose their own book.
Nationwide & Shelter
Nationwide is to match donations given on the night at Shelter’s upcoming virtual carol concert, up to £50,000. The ‘One Voice’ concert will take place at 7pm on Wednesday 8 December, and will be streamed via Shelter’s website. Shelter aims to match and exceed the success of last year’s inaugural virtual carol concert event, which attracted over 10,000 viewers.
Foodari & Pilgrims Hospices
Kent local business Foodari is supporting the county’s largest hospice charity Pilgrims Hospices this Christmas. It will be donating £5 from every one of its Christmas Turkeys sold this season, and offering an optional donation to the charity at checkout.
Dunelm & 3 charity partners
Dunelm is running a Christmas sandwich promotion in its Pausa coffee shops, donating 40p from the sale of each festive ham hock croque sandwich to its charity partners. The money will be shared between the three partners, with Mind receiving 89%, SAMH, 8%, and Inspire, 3%.
The Body Shop, Honeypot Children’s Charity & Family Carers Ireland
