This year The Somerset Toiletry Company is proudly celebrating its 25th anniversary, commemorating a quarter-century of innovation and dedication to quality within the gift industry.
To mark this significant milestone, owner and founder Sakina Buoy is thrilled to announce its “25 for 25” campaign: a series of charitable initiatives aimed at giving back.
The campaign highlights The Somerset Toiletry Company’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and philanthropy. Over the course of the year, staff across The Soap Bar Cafe, head office, warehouse and factory teams will undertake 25 acts of kindness, ranging from charitable donations to community projects.
Over recent years, the supplier has given local homeless charity Billy Chip office space, and is an official corporate friend of Swallow Charity, supporting individuals with learning disabilities.
Sakina said: “We are immensely proud to celebrate 25 years of serving our customers, and we recognise that none of this would be possible without the support of our incredibly talented team. With refreshed branding, 2024 has started with a bang, being nominated 14th in the EB [Elite Business Magazine] 100 Top SME Businesses. As we reflect on our journey, we are humbled by the opportunity to give back and make a positive impact within our community.”
The “25 for 25” initiatives include:
- Donating toiletries to Bristol and Bath homeless and refugee support services.
- Dog walking for local Dog Rescue, Mutts with friends.
- Fundraising in The Soap Bar Café for Prickles Hedgehog Rescue based in Cheddar.
- 10k Chew Valley Run will raise money for Billy Chip.
- The Soap Bar Café will produce food for Lizzie’s Soup Run in Bath.
These are just a few examples of the many ways in which The Somerset Toiletry Company will be giving back throughout the year. The company is inviting customers, partners, and community members to join it in spreading kindness and making a difference.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, The Somerset Toiletry Company will also be releasing limited-edition soaps and hosting special events; visit its website or social media for updates.
