At Hello Lovely Design and Co, I believe in creating design that gives back. That’s why 5% of every bespoke design project is offset through Ecologi, a trusted UK-based charity dedicated to reducing emissions and restoring our planet. Through Ecologi’s’ work, I can ensure that all contributions aid the latest climate science and uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability.
The best part? You choose how your work makes an impact. When you receive your invoice, you’ll have the opportunity to select where your offset contribution goes:
Carbon removal such as turning waste biomass into biochar in Wales.
Reforestation your donation could help to protect the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.
Community support including the supply fuel-efficient stoves to families in Uganda.
Habitat restoration by replanting wild meadows and wetlands across the UK.
Once your payment is complete, I’ll handle the donation and share the details so you can see the difference you’ve made.
Supporting Causes Close to My Heart
Beyond sustainability, I’m passionate about supporting charities that make a difference, including:
The Full Stop CIC – advocating for those who are childless not by choice.
The Big Issue – empowering people with the sales of the Big Issue magazine.
Street Vet – offering veterinary care for pets of homeless people.
Mungo’s – combating homelessness across the UK.
Collaborating with Purpose
I’m proud to have provided design services for notable organizations such as:
