As part of its ethos, La Jewellery is strongly committed to helping to raise awareness of and funds for various charities. To date this has been via our Jigsaw Collection and Chloe earrings.
However, we have recently implemented a change in our charitable contributions policy. We have decided that it may better benefit the charities we support if a proportion of the sale price of every piece of jewellery sold online is donated to one of our designated charities. This also empowers our customers, enabling them to feel they are actively making a difference when purchasing one of our pieces, encouraging ethical shopping and being far more effective as a way of contributing to the chariries we support than being limited to contributing only via our charity ranges.
We have therefore decided that La Jewellery will contribute £1 for every item sold via our website and £3.00 from every item purchased from the Jigsaw range.
The money will be sent on a monthly basis to LATCH, Click Sargent and Noah's Arc Appeal.
In addition, La Jewellery from to time provides charities with an amount of complimentary jewellery for them to sell to help raise funds. This is subject to a careful screening process, with criteria drawn up by the La team, but if you are a charity or an individual trying to raise funds, please email us with details and we will consider your application.
To date, La Jewellery has contributed to the following:
Charitable organisations:
Derby Hospital cancer unit
Noahs Arc Appeal
Click Sargent
Gwent Wildlife
Monmouth Operatic Society
LATCH
Velindre Hospital
Joshua Foundation
Cardiff Childrens hospital play workers craft fund

Laura Mcfeeny’s 3 week old great niece
On the 9th of February 2007, our wonderful daughter Annastarzzia who is 14 years young, was diagnosed with Hodgekin's Lymphoma cancer.We never thought that our hearts would stop beating so fiercely through our chests or that our breaths would be free of trembles ever again but eventually, we could hear the silence.
How does a doctor find the words and grace to tell you of such news? We thank Dr. Williams at Abergavenny hospital for his strength and compassion.
When Annastarzzia was three weeks old, she was diagnosed with Meningitis and we were informed that she had 24 hours to live. If she managed to survive, she would most probably be severely brain damaged, blind or deaf ... every day an Indian doctor would come and attend to her. He would lay his hands on her. There was a calmness that filled the room, unexplainable really but now I know that he was a very powerful healer.... our thanks go to him also. Ten days later we left the hospital with a perfectly healthy baby girl ..... was this a miracle?
As a qualified Hypnotherapist, massage practitioner and a believer in the powers of healing, I can now implement these practices within Annie's recovery. This is so important for me as Annie's mother as there are times when you feel completely helpless and alone.
As a family, we believe very strongly in giving back to our community, so Annie and I have designed a new collection named "Jigsaw". This collection will consist of earrings, bracelet and matching pendant.
This will be a great exercise for Annie and it will help her to be positive and focused throughout her treatment which commences on the 28th of February 2007. It hopefully, will help some other children and their families get through this intense period.
And lets not leave out the Dad's - Stuart, you are our Rock and we thank you for being the warrior that you are. We were truly blessed when you came into our lives.
Annie has been given so many tools to fill her tool box over the years and we are so, so proud of your strength and commitment to getting better. We love you baby xxxxxx
Thank you for listening ..... it all helps !
