Supported Charities

Thanks to the continued support of my customers over the years, there are a number of charities that I make a monthly donation to, on behalf of James' Home of Tone

Metal for good
I am a big fan of what Metal for good stand for, and particularly love that they're based in the West Midlands locally too. I have recently set up a modest monthly donation on behalf of James' Home of Tone.

Metal For Good uses the positive values of rock, metal and other alternative subcultures to make a positive difference in communities. They provide grants to incredible community groups and organisations who use music to change lives. They partner with musicians, industry partners, promoters, and individuals to raise funding to support community projects and innovative ideas. They also generate income using the profits from their Metal For Good merchandise (well worth checking out as the merch designs are awesome!). They believe that the rock and metal community is truly unique – we’re brought together through a love of great music and a sense of belonging. Through this shared identity, lives are often improved; we feel a part of something bigger, that we are accepted, and that someone has ultimately ‘got our back’.

Blueprint For All
I have been making a modest monthly donation to Blueprint For All for over 5 years now. They offer support, guidance and opportunities to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to create a fairer society in which everyone can succeed. Formally known as the Stephen Lawrence Trust, Blueprint for all take off from there really with further help for younger people from disadvantaged backgrounds. I hope that in coming months & years, I can also run fundraising events in further support of this great charity. Thank you for supporting me, James' Home of Tone, and helping making the monthly donation possible.

Trees for Cities
I have been making a modest monthly donation to Trees for Cities for a couple of years now. I have long been conscious that any business, but particularly mail order based businesses rely on a lot of packaging. From incoming stock, to outgoing orders. I have always, from day one, used recycled, sustainable and eco friendly packaging solutions and services throughout, but I also wanted to try and give back a little too. After looking around at the various charities in this field, (no pun intended) I personally really liked what Trees for Cities stand for and what they achieve. Their organisational goal is to create healthy, accessible and resilient urban forests created for today and for future generations. Their strategic goal is to enable and inspire a new generation to plant and protect urban trees
