Charity or Gifts for Good?

Sorry to post this in Nov but I need to get ahead of the big C this year. Last year I followed a thread which listed all types of charity/ social enterprise sellers for gift ideas. I'd like to buy thoughtful gifts that have some social impact. Like the chocolate company that train up adults with autism or the stationery brand that help women out of domestic violence. Please share any ideas you have, local and national. Thanks!
PS. I need physical gifts, not just giving £20 to buy a chicken in Africa that I will never see.

I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for, but rather than a charity donation per se, I've sponsored a local child this Christmas. There's a few baby banks in my local area who I often give to, and they've released ages/ wish lists of children they support who otherwise wouldn't receive anything at Christmas.

I went to Toby Carvery for a meal and you can pay £5 for a Xmas meal for a homeless person.

Page and Bloom sell paper flowers made by women who've experienced domestic abuse. Likewise Luminary bakery make amazing cakes made by women who've experienced disadvantage. I think both are social enterprises

I bought some brownies for the teachers at my kids school from this shop on etsy. When they arrived they had a card inside which said they gave a % of their profits to charity. I've lost the card now and can't remember how much it said exactly. But the brownies were also really good so I would recommend.

Migrateful do online cooking classes. It's a charity supporting refugees

Thank you, I've just scanned the website quickly. What an inspired idea!
