Company activities and impact

The Giving Place CIC trades as Give and Tea selling loose leaf and bagged tea online and at fairs. All profits are sent to partner organisations in East Africa supporting over 300 children and young adults. In the year to 31 March 2025, our focus was on providing essential sustenance, healthcare, and educational support. This included funding over 18,800 meals, clearing school fees for 34 girls, providing medical and dental care, distributing reusable menstrual products, and funding essential utilities and workshops. A full detailed report is available upon request.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders: Our stakeholders are the beneficiary communities in East Africa (children, young people, staff), our customers (individuals and trade clients), our partner organisations' management teams, and our tea suppliers. Consultation: We consult regularly with our partner organisations via calls and WhatsApp; their direct feedback shapes our priorities, leading to new initiatives like funding water bills and a medical fund. We consult customers through conversations at fairs, social media engagement, and Google reviews. For business customers, we conduct personal delivery catch-ups and share annual impact statements. We maintain regular contact with suppliers due to our frequent ordering schedule. This holistic approach ensures our activities remain effective and aligned with our social mission.
