Our Charity Collaborations

WIRES Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation
The natural world means everything to Alex and our team, and we are devastated by the ongoing impact of the Australian Bushfires. In support of the urgent work currently being undertaken to help and rehabilitate Australia's native wildlife currently under threat, we will be donating £65 from every Cockatoo Necklace sold directly to WIRES - The New South Wales Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service. In it's rainbow of unique, indigenous wildlife, Australia is home to over 14 species of Cockatoo. Your support will help address the devastation of this environmental tragedy to ensure Australia's unique and precious wildlife has a future in the wild.

Great Ormond Street Hospital
Over the Christmas period 2018 we raised over 22K for the charity through a £30 donation of our Floral Alphabet collection. Bursting with tangled blooms, sculpted leaves and intricate petals, Floral Alphabet featured the optional addition of a blue topaz teardrop inspired by the teardrop in the Charity's logo. This iconic logo features the face of a child with a single tear and was originally created 30 years ago to mark the launch of the ‘Wishing Well Appeal’, which raised vital funds for the hospital.

Friends of the Earth
A future without Bees affects everything which is why we collaborated with Friends of the Earth to help Save the Bees. In 2018 with every order from our 'Beehive’ we included a FOE Bee Saver Kit. Containing wildflowers, garden planners and other materials to help make bee friendly areas in your garden, we can all do our bit to support their neighbourhood bees....and ensure the future wellbeing of these amazing creatures. The money we donated was through the purchase of the Bee Saver Kits, passed onto our customers.

Burt's Bees
Both famous for their bee inspired ranges, Burt’s Bees and Alex Monroe joined forces in 2011 to give something back and raise money for the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA). To mark the launch of the Radiance Toner, a new addition to the Radiance Face and Body Care Collection, Alex Monroe has designed a new and unique necklace, the Honey Bee and Flower necklace.
The handcrafted silver and gold-plated Honey Bee and Flower necklace epitomises Alex Monroe’s delicate, intricately detailed trademark style and the best bit is that £30 from every necklace sold being donated to the BBKA. Together with the 100% natural Radiance Toner, it really is a guilt-free treat

RSPB
'I was a crazy keen birdwatcher when I was a boy. My Young Ornithologist badge was my most prized possession'
Growing up surrounded by nature, it is no surprise that Alex's work heavily revolves around the outdoors and the little creatures that you find nestled in the middle of it all. So when Alex was approached by the RSPB to create a capsule collection to help with the efforts in conservation, well, let's just say it was a childhood dream come true. The collection features species that have conservation status. Since 2016 a donation of £35 has be made to RSPB for each piece sold.

Haven
Alex has teamed up with The Haven, a Breast Cancer Support Centres Charity, to create a unique necklace especially for the charity.Two birds sit in the branches of The Haven Tree. A tree is the emblem of The Haven’s logo symbolising life and it’s cycles. £30 from the purchase of this necklace will be donated straight to The Haven Charity.

Shooting Star Chase
In 2016 we auctioned a piece of Alex’s 30th anniversary cake for charity - and we asked you to bid for a slice!
The highest bid was £1,350 with all proceeds being donated to Shooting Star Chase. This charity was chosen by our good friend Jo Whiley who has supported our brand for years. This charity was close to her heart and we were delighted we could contribute to their fundraising efforts.

Fight For Sight
We don’t just make jewellery …. We run too! Kinda …. some of us sprinted, some of us limped and some of us crawled, but we all made it to the finish line! We’ve ran many a marathon for this cause, and hosted a trunk show online to create this grand total!
