Making Waves with Every Sale: Our Journey with i=change 🌊 At Sand + Salt kids, every piece of clothing we sell isn't just about style—it's about making a difference. Thanks to our partnership with i=change, we've turned our passion for sustainable, beach-inspired children's wear into a powerful tool for change. Here’s the impact we’ve made together: Over $3,000 Donated: thanks to our commitment to redirect $1 from every sale to life-changing projects. Three Life-Changing Projects: Our contributions have supported three critical areas: providing support for mental health through beyond blue, supporting children in need, and protecting our oceans. We chose i=change because we believe in transparent, impactful change. Every purchase from Sand + Salt not only gives your child a piece of the laid-back, surf-inspired lifestyle but also contributes to a brighter, sustainable future for children across the globe.

"Brake (2023) is advocating for safer roads around schools by proposing a speed limit of 20mph. This initiative, promoted by Brake, a leading road safety charity, aims to reduce the risk of accidents and protect children during their commute. By implementing lower speed limits, we can create a safer environment for students, parents, and teachers alike.

https://lnkd.in/gecKuEuq that link goes to our all-volunteer non-profit that’s doing the real work, addressing the root causes of trafficking, saving and housing survivors, and attacking the various drivers of instability in trust depleted environments - bad actors exploit these instabilities to find new victims. We work in the most violent and abhorrent places you can imagine, without pay, and often spending our own funds. Help us lighten that load on then and further our mission defending the defenseless.

There are almost 300,000 households right now in the UK experiencing homelessness. This includes enough children in temporary accommodation to fill 5,000 classrooms. We are united with Crisis in the belief that everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home 🏠 That is why we're proud to announce that our electric vans taking part in this year's EV Rally will be filled with donations to help stock Crisis charity shops, supporting its mission to end homelessness in a sustainable way. Not only is this a practical solution to show the electric vans' true mileage while carrying a full load, but it will help to bring in more donations, promote a circular economy and prevent more unwanted clothing going to waste, contributing to pollution levels across the world. You'll be able to spot the Crisis logo on all vehicles, with opportunities to donate at all check points. If you're taking part in this year's #EVRally, make sure to keep an eye out! #CharityPartner #ElectricVans #endhomelessness #circularfashion #climatechange

Speeding is never acceptable. It's not an ethical or moral issue – it’s a legal one, and speed limits are the law because it saves lives. #RoadSafetyWeek 2023, organised by Brake, the road safety charity, aims to raise awareness of the dangers of excess or inappropriate speed. Every year we help hundreds, if not thousands of people, affected by road traffic collisions – many where speed was a factor – so we know road safety matters. We’re all busy. We all have places to be. But we all deserve to travel, and get back to our families, safely. #RoadSafetyMatters
