Our Charities

The ones who are actively making a difference.

Strong, reliable partnerships are key. We research and carefully consider each species-specific charity, to ensure 20% of print proceeds directly go towards the protection of the animal.

The Qualities We Look For

We understand that strong partnerships are key. Here are some of the qualities we look for in our Partner Animal Charities.

Species Specific

Partner charities specialise in working with a specific animal species to ensure the money goes to the protection of its future.

Sustainable

Each charity must uphold a sustainable practice when helping species to ensure no further harm to both the surrounding environments and the animals.

Local

Local community-based work is often the key solution to dealing with conservation issues that are effecting endangered species and their eco-systems.
