A Message from Me: Expanding Our Purpose-Driven Partnerships

Over the past few years, I’ve poured my heart into building a business that supports good causes.
As a social enterprise, my aim has always been to offer quality products with purpose - helping people do good, while doing good ourselves.

However, I’ve noticed a steady decline in online sales.  Rather than seeing this as a setback, I’ve taken it as an opportunity to step back and rethink how the business can create the greatest value and impact for the future. 

A Broader, More Purposeful Direction

Rather than focusing solely on the busy online retail space, I’m opening the door to more direct partnerships - with charities, community groups, and companies who want their purchases to make a difference.

This means:

• Supplying candles directly to charities for their shops and events
• Creating bespoke products for companies who want to support a chosen cause
• Offering a more personal, responsive service, with the same commitment to ethical, high-quality products

Earlier this summer, Dancerena Ayr commissioned a bespoke candle order and chose Whiteleys Retreat as the benefiting charity - with 100% of profits donated. I absolutely love this model and would love to do more of it.

People want to purchase with purpose, and I believe this approach will open Kindness & Co to new and meaningful opportunities. 

Still Here for You Online

If you’ve been shopping through our online store, you’ll be glad to know it’s still open - and will remain so well beyond 2026.  

Why This Matters

This approach allows us to:

• Give businesses and individuals a simple way to support a cause
• Tailor products to the real needs of our partners
• Stay true to our values: community, compassion, and meaningful impact.

Thank You

Whether you’re a charity, a business, or a loyal online customer, thank you for being part of this journey.
Your support means everything, and I’m excited for the opportunities ahead.

If you’d like to explore a bespoke order or just have a chat about ideas - I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s make a difference, together.
