We’ve been lucky to work with good people. Now we’re sharing some of that good fortune by inviting you to help decide which charities receive our support.
We work hard and we have been so fortunate, we want to share this with the communities around us. Our giving drive covers local causes that touch us personally to charities that tackle diseases affecting the world's most vulnerable. It’s a way for all of us to be involved and understand how we are making a difference to the lives of those around us.
Each month, three vetted charities go up, one jar each. Everyone invited that month gets a single voting token, and the vote shares decide how the month's giving is split. There's no end date. The drive runs month after month, for as long as the group does.
Three causes, one choice.
No token for November? You might be invited next month.

The Willcocks family has quietly supported a range of causes for years through its charitable giving. The giving drive opens that up to everyone we work with.
None of it would be possible without the people we've worked alongside for decades: our teams, our subcontractors and our customers. The wider Willcocks family. To say thank you to everyone who's contributed along the way, we'd like you to help decide where the giving lands.
It isn't a campaign with an end date. Every month three new causes go up, and the vote starts again.
Every charity on the shortlist is drawn from Peter Singer's The Life You Can Save, an Australian-founded group that evaluates charities for measurable, high-impact work. So however your token gets used, the money's already in a hand-picked set.
