Naked Wines Charitable Trust

We set up the Naked Wines Charitable Trust to harness the power of our Naked community to do some good in the world.

Transforming communities, improving lives

Our aim is to support charities which improve the lives of those who need a helping hand, from individuals and communities here on our doorstep in Norfolk, to those on the other side of the world. 

Plus every year, our Angel customers, staff and shareholders all come together in a massive fundraising campaign to feed hungry school children in South Africa. More about that below. 

Carmen's Kids

Anyone can donate to this great cause all year round at our Just Giving page, where Gift Aid can boost your donation.

Most children in the poor districts around South Africa’s winemaking capital, Stellenbosch, used to go to school hungry every day, until winemaker Carmen Stevens set up a soup kitchen with other local mums to feed them. 

When word got out and the number of kids turning up grew into their thousands, UK Angels donated enough money for Carmen to take her feeding programme directly into the schools, and feed the kids for a whole year. 

Over the last 10 years, UK Angels have donated £3 million to put 38 million nutritious meals into 117,000 hungry little mouths. Last year alone they raised nearly £500,000 to feed 19,000 children more than 7 million school meals, giving all those kids a better shot at life. 

Each spring we do a big fund-raising campaign to fund Carmen’s school-feeding programme for another year.

Giving closer to home

We may be based in Norwich, but home to us is also a winemaking community that stretches around the world. It includes humble vineyard workers and their families, from Australia to the USA, Germany to the UK, whose lives can be turned upside down when natural disasters like floods or fires strike. When they do, we support those communities. 

Closer to home, each year our staff nominate three charities which receive generous donations from our annual charity budget. In addition, all staff get a ‘charity day’ where they go and work for one of the nominated charities for a day, or another great local cause of their choice. This year our nominated charities are…

St Martins Housing Trust - helping the homeless and those at risk to build a better life in Norwich and Norfolk.

The Feed - empowering local communities to ensure each and every person has the support to eat well, live well, and feel connected.

Cancer Research UK - the world’s largest independent cancer research organisation, building a better world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
