How does Collective Sales work?
It’s super simple — and completely risk-free.
-
You place an order for candles.
-
You don’t pay anything upfront — we send the candles to you with free delivery.
-
Your group sells the candles to friends, family, and the wider community.
-
You keep all the profits (typically £6–£10 per candle, depending on your selling price).
-
You can return any unsold candles, given that they are i the same condition as when you recieved them.
Any UK-based youth group, club, or cause — including Scouts, Guides, schools, university societies, choirs, and more.
That’s up to you! A reasonable amount to raise can be between £400–£2,000+, depending on how many members are involved and how many candles you sell.
Example:
If 25 members each sell 8 candles at £15, that’s £1,200 in profit!

Yes! We’ll add your group’s logo to the candle sleeve packaging at no extra cost. It’s a great way to make your fundraiser feel truly yours.
The more you charge, the more you raise — and most supporters are happy to pay a bit more when they know it’s going to a great cause.
