Giving Tuesday - when people and organisations come together to do good and transform our world!

As many conflicts continue around the world, we remain committed to investing in the power of women survivors of war. Giving Tuesday took place on 29th November and the money raised with the support of our corporate partners will allow us to help resilient women to rebuild their lives, gain crucial skills and transform their futures, families and communities.  

From meaningful cards to quality wardrobe staples, read on to discover the ways your favourite brands supported us on this global day of giving! 

Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty has already supported over 3,000 women survivors of war through our programmes, thanks to their £1 million pledge and Hot Lips 2 Collection. With your help, together we can help even more women reach their potential. From every Charlotte Tilbury Holiday Stocking sold, £5 will contribute to helping women living in conflict-affected countries rebuild their lives. Launching soon on charlottetilbury.com!
