NEPTUNE ANNOUNCES ‘STUMP UP FOR TREES’ PARTNERSHIP
Neptune is pleased to announce its partnership with ‘Stump Up For Trees’ (SUFT), a UK-based charity which focuses on woodland creation.
SUFT facilitates the replanting of woodland species with respect to local ecosystems and increases tree cover in upland regions in a sustainable manner. The charity takes a long-term approach to #woodland creation; it’s not just about the trees being planted, but how they are going to develop. SUFT cares for and protects the trees for 12 years until they enter into a new regulatory framework, protecting them as a sustainable woodland which will go on to live for well beyond 100 years.
This approach perfectly aligns with Neptune’s unwavering commitment to quality and longevity, making furniture that will last 100 years and give pleasure to generations to come. All timber used in Neptune’s production has been carefully selected from sustainable sources, where trees have been planted at a faster rate than they are felled for over 50 years, currently at a replacement rate of 2.5 times. Now, to further its commitment to protecting tree species and improving the local environment, Neptune pledges to plant one tree with SUFT for every tree used in its manufacturing. Customers can also choose to donate at the point of purchase, which will be matched by Neptune. Neptune employees will also partake in two SUFT volunteering days each year.

SUPPORTING PEOPLE WHILST THEY REBUILD THEIR LIVES WITH DIGNITY
A VERY BRUMMIE CHARITY SHOP:
Avery Brummie charity shop opened in Digbeth last month. The special SIFA Fireside and Friends Shop opened its doors at the Custard Factory and stocked a number of brilliant Brummie buys. The shop has been set up to support people facing homelessness in Birmingham by helping 'turn fashion into a donation'. It featured vintage clothes and gifts by a number of city creatives and vendors.
Among those providing items for sale was local artists Draw My City, Punks and Chancers (who sell a wonderful range of Brummie shirts including a very festive 'BAB HUMBUG' number), Positively Birmingham and Hissy Fit clothing. SIFA Fireside also sold its own merchandise featuring art from illustrator Jimmy Rogers.
The shop has been provided to SIFA free of charge by Zellig and the money raised will go towards keeping the doors of SIFA Fireside's Digbeth support centre open. There, rough sleepers can receive housing advice, warm showers and hot meals as well as wellbeing support. Recovery activities took place at the Support Centre too, including art and music therapy, ESOL classes and job workshops to help those who are moving on from homelessness.
Robb Sheppard, comms lead at SIFA Fireside said: "With so many worthy causes needing donations and with the cost-of-living crisis affecting all of us, we're always working hard to find new ways to raise funds so that SIFA Fireside can keep supporting people experiencing, or at risk of homelessness in Birmingham. It’s been a tremendous team effort."
