Fundraising

Maggie’s

Lulu Lytle, founder of Soane, is an ambassador for Maggie’s, a charity providing free specialist support and information for people living with cancer and their families.  Every year, our team raises £10,000 through various initiatives, and Soane matches this — supporting our goal of donating £20,000 a year to Maggie’s. From an auction of good deeds and donated items to cake sales and events, our team are proud to have exceeded their target in 2024, raising £22,700. In addition, nine members of our team volunteered in the garden at Maggie’s in Hammersmith. Since Soane began fundraising for Maggie’s in 2022 we have raised £62,700 to date, which equates to around 1,650 hours of specialist support sessions.

The Wild Camel Protection Foundation

In 2010 Lulu designed the brass Camel Doorstop to financially support efforts to preserve the critically endangered wild camel.  With fewer than 600 wild camels remaining in China and only 450 in Mongolia, it is vital that every effort is made to protect them.

Lulu is a trustee of the Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF).  All proceeds of the doorstop will aid WCPF’s work with government and local authorities in China and Mongolia, with the aim to protect this remarkable creature and its pristine desert environment from extinction and destruction.
