Whole Foods to launch exclusive Christmas candle produced by Isle of Skye Candle Company in support of EJF

By EJF Staff

This Christmas, The Isle Of Skye Candle Company is partnering with the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) to produce a limited edition Christmas Candle which will be exclusively available in Whole Foods Market in its London, Glasgow and new Cheltenham stores.

Handmade from natural Soya Wax and combined with the rich, warming fragrances of Frankincense and Myrrh, the candle has been created as the ideal gift, or cosy addition for a family Christmas gathering. The candles are hand made on the Isle of Skye by a small business founded by two brothers.

£5 from the sale of each candle will be donated to EJF’s ‘No Place Like Home' campaign raising awareness of and supporting vulnerable people and communities around the world who have been forced from their homes as a result of climate-related disasters.

Climate refugees now outnumber refugees fleeing conflict and persecution three to one. Yet, unlike refugees, they have no legal status and there is no agency or process that offers them protection or assistance. EJF is campaigning to change this, providing them with the basic human rights they so desperately need.

The candle will be available in all Whole Foods Market stores and online and www.skyecandles.co.ukthroughout the festive period priced at £9.99.
