Our Charitable Initiatives

Partnering with Meaningful Causes: Since the beginning, Happythreads has dedicated a minimum of 5% of our annual profits to support charitable organisations. These partnerships are more than financial contributions; they are about fostering real change in areas that matter most.

 

Current Charity and Past Partnerships:

Theodora Children’s Charity: Bringing Joy to Hospitalised Children

We are proud supporters of Theodora Children's Charity. Founded in 1994, the charity transforms children’s hospital experiences into places of fun and laughter through professional performers called Giggle Doctors. These 33 Giggle Doctors visit 23,000 children annually, providing music, play, and storytelling.

Charity partner

Jigsaw: Supporting Youth Mental Health

We are proud to partner with Jigsaw, an Irish mental health charity dedicated to supporting young people nationwide. Through our initiative, for every order placed on Happythreads.ie in June, €1 was donated to Jigsaw, resulting in an incredible €5000 raised. This support is crucial, especially during these challenging times, as it helps Jigsaw meet the increasing demand for mental health services.

Women’s Aid: Standing Against Domestic Abuse

During the Covid-19 lockdown, we stood alongside Women’s Aid in their mission to support victims of domestic abuse across Ireland. Your purchases directly contributed to providing safety and essential services to those in need, highlighting the urgency of their work.

Marie Keating Foundation: Fighting Cancer Together

Our support for the Marie Keating Foundation underscores our commitment to raising cancer awareness and providing vital support services to those affected. Every purchase at Happythreads contributes to these crucial efforts, making a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.

Dentaid and Bridge2Aid: Transforming Dental Health

Our enduring partnerships with Dentaid and Bridge2Aid focus on improving dental health globally. Together, we support initiatives that provide dental care and education to underserved communities, empowering them with essential skills and resources.

Movember: Raising Awareness for Men’s Health

Each Movember, Happythreads joins the global movement to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues. Our participation helps promote conversations and supports initiatives that improve men’s health and well-being.

Employee-Driven Giving: Supporting Alzheimer's Research

In May, our marketing assistant, Cara, based in Edinburgh, undertook a significant challenge by running a half marathon to raise funds for Alzheimer's research. Recognising Cara's dedication and the importance of the cause, Happythreads proudly matched her fundraising efforts with a £500 donation. This initiative not only supported a cause dear to Cara's heart but also exemplifies our commitment to amplifying individual efforts that create meaningful change.

Children's Health Foundation Bake Sale

At Happythreads, we're passionate about giving back to our community. Recently, our team came together and ran a Bake Sale outside our Ballymount office for the Children's Health Foundation. Despite the unpredictable Irish weather, we enthusiastically messaged all our neighbouring businesses and stood out with our delicious treats ready for the lunchtime rush. Thanks to our star baker, Cathy, whose culinary skills extended from cakes to sausage rolls, we raised vital funds to support children in need. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to making a meaningful impact through collective efforts, spreading joy and support where it's needed most.

 

Employee Engagement and Community Involvement

Empowering Our Team:

At Happythreads, we believe in the power of collective action. That's why we involve our staff in selecting top charities to receive additional donations throughout the year. By allowing our team to nominate and vote for causes they are passionate about, we ensure our charitable efforts reflect our shared values and commitment.

Real Stories of Impact:

Through our partnerships and initiatives, we've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of collective giving. Each contribution, whether it's supporting mental health, aiding victims of domestic abuse, or enhancing dental care, contributes to positive change in our community and beyond.

 

Looking Ahead

Future Commitments:

Looking to the future, we are committed to expanding our support, launching new initiatives, and deepening our impact in areas that matter most to our community. Together with our customers and partners, we will continue to spread happiness and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

At Happythreads, our dedication to social responsibility isn't just a promise—it's a heartfelt commitment to empower, support, and uplift those in need. Join us on our journey to create a brighter, healthier future for all.
