Practical Presents Charity

Founded over 40 years ago, Practical Action is a UK-based international development charity that knows that the right idea, no matter how small, can change lives. We work with local people, building on their existing skills to create simple and sustainable answers to poverty.

Practical Presents is a fantastic range of alternative charity gift ideas that help poor people around the world transform their lives and alleviate poverty. There are lots of cute and unusual presents to choose from including Fluffy Ducks, Cuddly Alpacas and Dynamic Donkeys - there's something to suit everyone, and every budget too with prices starting at just £11! Whichever one you choose, your support helps to assist Practical Action's long-term projects in 13 developing countries.

Just select your practical present, place your order and Practical Presents will send a gift pack and keepsake to you, your friend or a loved one. Your donation is then put to work straight away, helping to transform the lives of poor people overseas. Practical Presents also have many corporate gift ideas to reflect the values of your company.

Send a Practical Present - it means more!

How your donations to Practical Presents Charity will be used?

The revenues generated by purchasing gifts from Practical Presents funds the work done by Practical Action. Practical Action works with poor communities to help them choose and use technology to improve their lives for today and generations to come. They focus their efforts, skills and resources around four international programmes:

• Reducing vulnerability - helping reduce the vulnerability of poor people affected by natural disasters, conflict and environmental degradation
• Making markets work - helping poor people to make a better living by enabling producers to improve their production, processing and marketing
• Improving access to services - helping poor communities gain access to basic services such as water, sanitation, housing and electricity
• New technologies - helping poor communities respond to the challenges of new technologies and helping them to access effective technologies that can change lives forever

Practical Action aims to tackle the underlying causes of poverty by campaigning to influence policies, institutions and processes to achieve greater and more lasting impact from its work.
