Celebrity Charity Wristbands21st Century Leaders is a unique charity artwork project. The concept is simple. We gather artworks from leaders in all fields; royalty, film, music, noble peace laureates, sports, literature etc. Each ambassador donates a symbol of hope, a self portrait and a message of hope for the future. These artworks are being used to create products, initially charity wristbands, clothing, tableware, ethical cosmetics and stationary released on the 21CL label. The goal of 21st Century Leaders' charitable brand is to sell 'merchandise with a meaning'. All products are manufactured under fair working conditions and are sold to raise funds for charitable causes chosen by each contributing leader. 100% of net profits are donated to charity. The aim is to raise a minimum of $3 million over three years to fund charitable projects in developing countries, contribute to the protection of the environment and other charitable causes.

Present Aid has over 30 fun and unusual gift ideas that will be loved by everybody and also help poor communities around the world
Christian Aid is an international development charity working in over 50 countries to help people in the fight against poverty.
Whether it is something sporty for a super fit granddad, a new bike for the green member of the family or an unusual pet for the kids, Present Aid is sure to have the perfect gift. And, not only will it be their loved one who benefits, a Present Aid gift will also help to make a lasting difference to someone else’s life.
How does it work?
For each present that is ordered we send a gift card that is then given to a friend or family member. Each card describes how Christian Aid helps people in the developing world improve their own lives, and has a space to include a personalised message.
Where does the money go?
The gifts on sale are virtual. This means that whatever present bought, the money will go directly to a project fund relevant to the gift. For instance, if you buy a goat, ducks or even composting worms, that money goes directly to our agricultural and livestock fund.
Giving4Charity.co.uk is a website set up to offer a charitable alternative to the gift buying problem
Too often it is the case that £100s are spent on gifts for people that they either will never use or just do not want.
The idea behind Giving4Charity.co.uk is that you can make a donation to a charity, sponsor a child in a developing or war torn country or adopt an endangered animal.
