Throughout February, we are spotlighting the organisations we support through our CIC giving. These grantees work across people, product, and planet, creating long-term impact within the communities they serve. We are pleased to share more about the work they do and the change they are leading.
@asancup
Asan is a social enterprise making sustainable period care accessible to all women in India. They have developed an easy-to-use menstrual cup and operate on a 1-for-1 donation model: for every cup purchased, one is donated to a woman or girl in need. This enables them to address period poverty while building a sustainable social enterprise.
@fatmacys
Fat Macy’s supports people moving from temporary accommodation into permanent housing through culinary and hospitality training, 1:1 support, and access to rental deposits. They address a critical gap in the UK’s housing system: residents in temporary accommodation face a 16-hour weekly work cap, creating a cycle where they must choose between minimal work hours or risking rent default.
@hasiru_dala
Hasiru Dala champions waste pickers, a critical but largely invisible community. Their holistic approach provides identity cards, social security, healthcare, housing, and education for children, transforming waste pickers into recognised professionals while building sustainable waste management systems.
@hopscotchwc
Hopscotch Women’s Centre is a sanctuary for underserved women and their families, providing grassroots community services in times of need. They support women overcoming poverty, escaping abuse, tackling mental health issues, and transitioning into employment. With 27 languages spoken at the Centre, they create a trusted space for women from diverse backgrounds.
