Bauble of Hope – £5.95 per pack or £10 for two packs.
Hundreds of festive baubles are to bring hope to children and families across Dundee and beyond this Christmas.
Women’s Business Station is launching the Bauble of Hope campaign in conjunction with Help for Kids Charity. We are inviting members of the public and businesses to buy or gift a keepsake bauble, with a message of hope to mark the end of a particularly challenging year.
Priced at £5.95 for two or £10, the sealed pack contains festive stencils and pens to personalise a bauble as a gift for a friend or family member. Alternatively, members of the public can buy a kit for Help for Kids to distribute to a child in need. Businesses will also be encouraged to bulk-buy baubles, which Help for Kids will pass on to children in their networks.

Have you had a successful business year in 2021? Would you like to share your success? The Women's Business Station team are on a mission to sell 150 baubles to fill our virtual Christmas Tree by the time we hit Christmas Day! Your support will directly benefit fifty women over twenty life changing weeks during our upcoming Aspiring Women programme which aims to create positive pathways out of poverty for women in the Dundee community who have been adversely impacted by the pandemic. By hitting our target of selling 150 baubles, you are helping us give women in Dundee hope of a better future in 2022 and beyond. Your brand logo will appear on our digital Christmas Tree throughout the campaign which runs until Christmas Day.
