Charity Sweets Subscription Box

What's in the box: A monthly letterbox-sized selection of sweets, though the site does not list the exact contents.

Charity Sweets is a UK letterbox sweet subscription run by Sweet Causes Limited, based in Aldridge in the West Midlands. The idea is simple. You get a monthly delivery of sweets through your letterbox, and the company says all profits go to seven UK charities. Named partners include Teenage Cancer Trust, Children's Air Ambulance and Mencap, and the site also lists a breast cancer charity among the causes it supports. If you would rather not commit, you can buy one-off as well as subscribe, and there are sweet jars sold as gifts. The site does not spell out which sweets arrive each month, how many you get, or how much of each payment reaches the charities in practice. "All profits" is a meaningful promise, but if you care about the numbers, contact the company or check the FAQ before signing up. The site has an FAQ, delivery information and a returns and refunds page. It also gives a business address, an email address and a phone line, which is reassuring for a small operation. Overall, this is a pleasant, low-stakes choice if you buy sweets anyway and would like the money to do some good. It suits you less if you want a curated, premium or tightly specified selection.
