Homeless Project Scotland

“Give the Gift of Clean”

Where this tale began…

I met Colin McInnes, creator and founder of the illustrious Homeless project Scotland, through Anne Marie Ward founder of FAVORUK. His determination meets results in spades. This solo figure adopts a driven and dogmatic selfless strive for freedom from homelessness came into my world. 

We decided to create a program called “Give the Gift of Clean”. This program takes the Jonathan Ward magic that I instilled into my first bath and body product and allows members of the public who appreciate the finer things to offer a small treat to someone who fights to find shelter, simply to action the basic human need of washing. 

For a £12.50 donation, a travel bag of 3 x 100ml body washes will be given to a person trying to free themselves of homelessness in Scotland. Making these life changes in our current climate is daunting and lengthy and if one can make that journey feeling positively equipped with cleanliness (which we all take for granted), the battle becomes a little gentler.

When purchasing simply list your personal shipping address and we will send a thank you with a note of who your gift went to.

You can also send a personal note via a quick email quoting your order number to either jonathan@thejonathanward.com or colin.mcinnes@homelessprojectscotland.org

With the phrase ‘charity begins at home’ written in bold, this charitable organisation’s work across multiple levels of Scottish society has played a significant part in my story since leaving London.

Underneath the veneer of any brand is a person. A real human battling to showcase their talents and artistry in the best possible light. Some people hide underneath their art or use their art as a way to avoid reality. I think its quite commonly acknowledged that I have an always been open about my achievements and equally, my shortcomings.

I managed my own life fairly adeptly until, like a perfect storm, it unravelled. Within a year, I lost family, my home, battled the financial aftermath of the pandemic and a third attempt at recovery with a new chapter in Scotland. I needed support.

FAVOR UK extended its warm hand and guided me across the challenges of starting again at fifty.

It is hard to ask or help but this charity squashed the shame and stepped up. Led and championed by Anne Marie Ward who or over fifteen years has spearheaded FAVOR UK’s battles at societal and governmental level. You can read more about their achievements and endeavours here.

We wanted to send a huge thank you to AnneMarie and FAVOR UK by rebranding two of our best selling candles, Kartushya and Cosimo with a charitable touch.
