You + Lush have donated £100M

Thank you for helping us reach £100 million in charitable giving!

In 2024, let’s celebrate this extraordinary milestone!

Since 2007, Lush has supported grassroot organisations and activists through multiple programmes, enabling them to continue their work to improve society. Through our giving streams, we have raised over £100 million and made over 19,000 donations globally, thanks to the support of our amazing customers. 

In FY23 we donated just under 1% of company turnover to grassroots groups that are driving tangible positive impact, showing our commitment to a long-term giving strategy.

The giving streams span across donation and campaigning products through to bi-annual awards such as The Lush Prize. This £250,000 prize fund rewards those working to remove animals from safety testing, including scientists for their developments of new approach (non-animal tested) methodologies. Our Spring Prize is a £200,000 prize fund, which is currently open for applications, and awards prizes to regenerative practices and those repairing the earth’s damaged systems.

If you shop with us, it won’t be news that we are also a campaigning company, having launched almost 50 campaign products so far. Perhaps you even remember our first official campaigning product from 2008: the Guantanamo Garden bath bomb launched with human rights nonprofit organisation Reprieve to highlight the plight of those imprisoned without trial in Guantanamo Bay. We continue to campaign on little-known issues to this day and we promise to keep on going.

Chris Packham, wildlife TV presenter and conservationist, is a friend and supporter of Lush’s causes and happily agreed to design some carrier bags to celebrate this giving milestone.  

The 5p charge of the Lush carrier bags (minus tax) goes toward our two Prize programmes which run on alternating years (Lush Prize and Spring Prize). These special bags will be used in UK&I stores from August 28th. Chris’s designs have also been turned into the shop window graphic, which will be in stores from August 28th till September 4th. 

'The remedy for hate is love, the cure for greed is giving, the key to freedom is kindness, life is lush.' Chris Packham, Wildlife TV presenter and conservationist

The Lush world put on their dancing shoes to celebrate this 100M milestone together. Staff and customers globally are dancing to a new song with a specially choreographed dance, bringing joy to Lush shop floors.

End of an era: The pot that has done a lot

When our Co-Founder and CEO Mark Constantine formulated and launched Charity Pot in April 2007, he wished that it would raise £1m for small charities, campaigning groups and other good causes. The aim was to donate small grants to the grassroots activists causing mischief and he envisioned creating absolute chaos if we managed to raise a million from Charity Pot. Since then it has exceeded all expectations and raised £75 million across 17,000 grants. It’s been the biggest contributor to Lush’s giving over the past 17 years, making up 75% of the £100m.

Whilst celebrating this momentous milestone, the company feels it is a good time to pause Charity Pot, to reflect on charitable giving as a whole, and assess the funding needed to meet the current challenges the world faces at this critical time.

Whilst Charity Pot will be leaving our shelves from the end of September 2024, campaigning and charity products will not be disappearing

The next phase of Lush giving

Giving at Lush is now entering a new era! The biannual Prizes will continue, and we will continue to support human rights and social justice, animal rights and environmental protection through fundraising products. The money from their sales will be donated to particular causes that are pertinent at any given time, and the product will reflect that cause. 

'When thinking about the future of giving, I want to land single, impactful messages that everyone understands and everyone can get behind.' Mark Constantine, Lush Co-Founder and CEO

The first 'giving product' of this new project, Watermelon Slice soap, had 100% of its profit going towards childhood mental health services in Palestine. It reached its fundraising goal fairly quickly, paving the way for other causes.

This year we will also be launching ‘Keystone Products’, taking inspiration from keystone species: those that act as ecosystem engineers, regenerating the landscape for other species. Each Keystone Product will be sold to raise money for a project in a priority landscape around the world, and we’ll have at least one for sale at any time. 

The projects funded through a Keystone Product will be designed to incorporate at least two of the following: regenerating landscapes for threatened wildlife, protecting a keystone species or developing human-focussed solutions (from addressing human-wildlife conflict to supporting sustainable livelihood opportunities). The first Keystone Product launch will be announced soon. 

Even after 100M we won't slow down. Let's keep on changing the world together and LEAVE IT LUSHER THAN WE FOUND IT.
