kindness
at OB

Kindness is at the heart of our company values: ‘Work Hard, Play Hard and Be Kind’, and we apply it across Oliver Bonas and beyond; from the way we work with our suppliers to how we treat each other and our customers, through to how we give back to our community and our environment.

Giving back is an important part of what we do at Oliver Bonas, and we’re also working with partners to find ways to recondition, repurpose and responsibly recycle our products to help reduce our impact.

Through our Be Kind Charity Partnership and local community support, we work hard to support many charities, organisations and individuals that help those in need, from local fundraisers through to national charities. For more information, email our Be Kind Team at charity@oliverbonas.com.
OUR BE KIND CHARITY PARTNERSHIP 2024 – 2025Bloody Good Period In 2023 Team OB voted in Bloody Good Period as our charity partner. Every month, too many people who menstruate
do not have reliable access to period products, and the cost of living crisis has only made the matter worse.
Bloody Good Period believe in menstrual equity and unrestricted access to high-quality, free period supplies for asylum seekers,
refugees and otherwise displaced people and their dependents.

Bloody Good Period support women, girls and non-binary people through their periods by distributing products,
information and support to vulnerable groups, with a mission to end period poverty.

SPOTLIGHT ON

Charity Christmas Decoration for SOS!SEN

Our charity Christmas decoration idea was pitched by Sam, a young, budding entrepreneur who has ADHD. Sam suggested we install gumball machines in all our stores for when children are shopping with their parents. This led to the design of our gumball decoration, designed collaboratively with Sam and raising money for SOS!SEN.

SOS!SEN is an independent charity that helps parents secure the right educational support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). With a team of 70 trained volunteers, they aim to help parents and carers to understand more about their children’s entitlements and navigate the processes to secure the right educational provision.

From every sale of our Gumball Christmas Tree Decoration, £1 will be donated to SOS!SEN.

Skills Builder partnershipThis year, we partnered with Skills Builder to sponsor five schools across England on the Skills Builder Accelerator programme,
which equips senior leaders and teachers with the training and resource to confidently deliver essential skills learning to their students.

The Skills Builder Universal Framework is the world’s leading tool for measuring and building essential skills.
It breaks the eight essential skills down to a sequence of steps, starting with absolute beginner through to mastery.

We are delighted to support the next generation go from absolute beginner to complete mastery and nurture great talent of the future.
