We have always been passionate about giving back and working closely with charities at Sophie Allport. Each charity we support is remarkable in what they do, whether that’s raising awareness, funding research, working with conservation, or helping to make a difference in the world we live in.
We have six charity partners, which we support each year. These partners are ZSL (Zoological Society of London), The National Trust, The Stroke Association, The National Garden Scheme, Buglife and The Royal Hospital Chelsea. Not only do each of these charities reflect on our core values, but they coordinate beautifully with our love for nature, people and the planet and have been chosen carefully because of what they mean to us.
"Supporting different charities has always been a part of our Sophie Allport story, and we are so pleased to be able to work alongside these incredible charities. Each means so much to us in different ways. Raising funds to help these causes is so vital and key so they can continue to focus on their work in making our world a better place."

Sophie Allport National Trust Collections
Combining Sophie’s love for nature with the National Trust’s expertise in environment and wildlife conservation, we have a range of collections which generate funds to ensure woodland and parks thrive. Through sales generated by our National Trust designs, 10% of net sales, with a minimum of £20,000 will be given to the National Trust.
Sophie Allport ZSL Collections
We are so proud to support ZSL (Zoological Society of London) with a range of different collections inspired by the animals of the African savannah and ZSL’s work to protect them. Many of you may know ZSL through its wonderful zoos in London and Whipsnade, but you may not know that ZSL is a conservation charity that works in over 50 countries across the world helping to create a world where wildlife thrives. Through sales generated from our ZSL products, 5% of net sales, with a minimum of £40,000, will be given to ZSL (Zoological Society of London).
The National Garden Scheme
They say gardening is good for the soul, mind, and body, and we love any reason to spend time outdoors. The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to over 3,500 exceptional private gardens whilst raising funds for key charities. The charities supported include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK, Carers Trust, The Queen’s Nursing Institute and Parkinson’s UK.
The Stroke Association
We are so pleased to support the Stroke Association, it is a charity personal to the Allport family, and it will remain in our hearts forever. Stroke strikes every five minutes in the UK. It can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time. The Stroke Association provides specialist support, funds critical research and campaigns to make sure that everyone affected by stroke gets the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
Buglife
Buglife is a charity close to Sophie Allport in many ways, from being a local charity to coordinating with many of Sophie’s designs and supporting all the insects we love! Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. They are working to save Britain’s rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles and worms to woodlice. Invertebrates are key to our very existence, and we should be caring for them in any way we can.
The Royal Hospital Chelsea
The Chelsea Flower Show has been part of the Sophie Allport story since 2010, and it’s one of our favourite events. This year, we have exclusively partnered with The Royal Hospital Chelsea on our limited-edition Chelsea Flower Show collection, which includes a beautiful mug, cotton tea towel, a serving tray and unique print hand signed by Sophie. The Royal Hospital Chelsea is the home of the iconic veterans of the British Army, the Chelsea Pensioners. It offers accommodation, comradeship, and the highest standards of care in recognition of the loyal service they have given to the nation. Some 300 Army veterans, both men and women, live at the Royal Hospital today. 10% of net sales made from the Chelsea Flower Show product range will be given to The Royal Hospital Chelsea to help look after former soldiers of the British Army.
Supporting our community is important to us, and quite often our staff are at the heart of this. We have a variety of different ways that we help support, give back and spread kindness through the community.
We support staff in the community by contributing 25% to any funds raised for charities up to a value of £250 per employee per year
We raised £4,200 for The Wildlife Trusts by donating 10% of net sales from online orders over 4 days in August 2023
Each Sophie Allport staff member receives a paid day in the community to volunteer with a charity or community group of their choice
Our Christmas card campaign raised £12,000 in 2023, supporting The Wild at Heart Foundation, The National Garden Scheme, Buglife, The Ruth Strauss Foundation and The Stroke Association
We support the local community, including local schools and events as well as the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance
We have raised £6,700 since 2020 with a bespoke collection for the Ruth Strauss Foundation, which supports families facing the death of a parent & drives the need for more research into non-smoking lung cancers
We have paid over £400,000 in the past six years to a wide range of charitable organisations, and we are so proud of this achievement. We couldn’t have done it without the support from each and every one of our customers and staff. Every penny raised makes a difference, and we are committed to continuing to support our chosen charities. We are passionate about making a difference for people, the planet and nature, and we hope you’ll join us on this journey.
