We want to hear from you! If you are passionate about a charity (or any good cause, it doesn't have to be a registered charity) then please do let us know about it. Email the details to me on charitypot@lush.co.uk, or call me on 0772 579 0474. I'll then contact the organisation with details on how to apply.
Please take a look at our guidelines before nominating any charities.

CHARITY POT ON FACEBOOK
So we can keep in more regular contact about our charities and campaigns, we've set up a Facebook group for Charity Pot. Please join at www.facebook.com/charitypot for all the latest news.
Throughout 2009, we supported Worcester based charity, the Fresh Start Foundation, who work in the Gambia to help vulnerable children by providing access to education and health care. We were so inspired by their work we went out to volunteer for the charity in January. You can read the full story about our trip here: Lush Gambia trip and also see short films here: Gambia diaries. The films include our arrival in Gambia and a clip of Lamin's Deal or No Deal game.

Lush created Charity Pot to raise money and awareness about charities and campaigns for a better, fairer world. We figure that giving every penny you pay for Charity Pot to charities and other good causes is a pretty wonderful thing! So, why not buy someone a gift that just keeps on giving with a lovely pot of hand and body lotion? It's made with fairly traded, skin-softening cocoa butter and smoothing almond oil.
When you buy Charity Pot we put your money (except the VAT, which we have to pay to the government) into a fund which is distributed to good causes.
But it's not just about charity; you also get an excellent body cream, as beautiful as all our others, made with almond oil and cocoa butter to make your skin as soft and smooth as can be. Our new formulation with fair trade cocoa butter gives a rich, chocolatey aroma that lingers on your skin. Smooth it on in the mornings or before you go to bed, after you've been to the gym or when your skin feels a little dry. The scent is made with ylang ylang and geranium essential oils to calm and balance the skin.
We want you to buy it because it's a brilliant product, too, not because it's for a good cause or two. Charity Pot should make you feel good on the outside and the inside.
Read more about this gorgeous body cream and order it online on the Charity Pot product page.
