Deep in Europe’s last wild forest, the Carpathian Mountains stand guard over the planet’s purest natural springs where AQUA Carpatica, a unique brand of mineral water, is sourced.

AQUA Carpatica is the same today as it has been for centuries – pure and pristine, with no additives, enhancements or processing. What’s more, AQUA Carpatica contains natural electrolytes that deliver added health benefits, and comes in both glass and BPA-free bottles which are 100% recyclable.

Deriving from two unique springs at the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, unspoiled by civilisation and untouched by agriculture and industry, the water has not been artificially processed in any way, meaning that its quality is impeccable. The springs lie deep within forests of fir, pine and spruce trees, far from any human activity. Since this is a land defined by endless evergreens, and is thick with undergrowth, it’s the perfect hiding place for countless deer. It also offers refuge to the biggest population of large carnivores in all of Europe – including wolf, brown bear and lynx.

Millions of years of hydrogeological activity have naturally infused AQUA Carpatica with its essential minerals and electrolytes and given it a balanced pH, rendering it free from the nitrates and contaminants found in other bottled waters. Forty years of journeying underground through layers of prehistoric volcanic rock has guaranteed its purification.

Sustainability is an important step in preserving nature’s gifts, and AQUA Carpatica demonstrates that it’s possible to safeguard nature’s beauty. Experience WATERLOVE

An Australian luxury brand founded by husband-and-wife team Taylor and Christie Cook, Avery Verse designs and produces women’s bags from eco-friendly Italian and US vegetable-tanned leather.

These ideals guide the brand’s designs as it seeks to express dignity and glamour without gimmickry. 

Avery Verse is a brand for the woman who expects ethics along with her style and quality. This is expressed through the label’s sustainable leather tanning, ethically sourced materials, donations from each sale to charity and support for equal representation of women in business. In all things the brand aims to be more than just another luxury range, and strives to create a product that enriches the lives of women in more ways than one.

Energise Africa is a joint venture brought to the market by two online impact investment platforms, Ethex and Lendahand. It offers retail investors the opportunity to get involved in pioneering businesses installing life-changing solar energy systems in sub-Saharan Africa.

Investments made via the platform will allow solar energy companies to significantly improve off-grid access for families in rural Africa, offering them the chance to pay off their solar energy systems in affordable monthly instalments, after which time they will own their system and have unlimited access to clean, cheap, reliable solar power.

Energise Africa’s aim is to provide more than 110,000 rural families with access to clean, renewable energy over the next three years. Having solar power on tap is quite literally life-transforming for families and businesses in this part of the world. Where previously people have relied on kerosene lamps that are dirty, unhealthy and unreliable, they can now enjoy clean, safe lighting and the electricity to power appliances and charge mobile phones.

Since Energise Africa launched a few months ago, it has raised over £1 million in investments, meaning that thousands of families are able to use solar kits that were previously beyond their budget.

Investment in one of the available projects starts from just £50. Interest rates vary, but they carry a potential 6% return per annum.*

An investment in Energise Africa is the chance to help renewable energy companies give the ‘gift’ of access to solar power and the opportunity of a brighter future for African families this Christmas. Why not give the gift of light this season?
