Since we were shortlisted for the Country Homes and Interiors Magazine "My Country Business Awards" in July, we have also received two other awards, which we want to share with you.......
We are delighted to annouce that Creature Candy has been shortlisted for the Country Homes and Interiors Magazine - My Country Business Awards 2015.
We are lucky enough to be featured in a fabulous blog post written by The Novice Project, based in New Zealand. It's always so rewarding and touching to read how your efforts have inspired others......
Throughout April & May we were asking you whether you have done or are doing something wonderful for wildlife, which you believe will make a difference. We have selected our winners and are now very excited to share these inspiring stories with you. Our first winners are Siobhan and Paul Martin from Nymet Rowland, Crediton, Devon.........
So far this year, we have managed to raise £149.72 for the Bat Conservation Trust, from the donations generated from our customers purchases. This is a great start to the year and we have decided to donate the money to the National Bat Helpline.......
This quarter we have managed to raise £118.62 for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, from the 10% we donate from our customers purchases. For this we would like to say a massive thank you to all our customers for your loyalty and support and for playing a part in helping to save our bumblebees. This money will be donated to the BeeWalk programme........
Throughout April we are asking you whether you have done something wonderful for wildlife which has made a difference. This could be planting some wildflowers in your garden which are now attracting lots of bumblebees, or putting up some bats boxes which now have a bat roost in them. If you think you have done something wonderful then we are asking you to tweet / post your photos to us on Twitter or Facebook, with a short explanation using the hashtag #loveourcreatures. We will then select our favourite three stories and write a blog about you at the beginning of May. The winning three entries will also win a Creature Candy mug, tea towel and notebook worth £32.00......
