Animal Welfare Organisations

Retail sales of our Cool to be Kind wristbands have enabled us to donate free wristbands to many animal welfare organisations, some of which are listed below.  In many instances, we have been able to donate multiple times. 


If you would like to purchase a Cool to be Kind wristband and have a passion for a specific type of rescue work, please consider buying a wristband directly from the organisation that supports your favourite animal or cause.
