At Wentworth Puzzles we know it’s important to play our part in helping to take care of our planet, the people and places that are here too. We hope to spread jigsaw joy to the world with our puzzles and support charities and foundations that help to make our world a better place.

This year, during Dementia Action Week (15th-21st May) we pledged to donate 10% of sales from our larger piece puzzles. This included our 50, 100 and new 250 large piece puzzles. These puzzles have larger, more manageable pieces, perfect for those who struggle with smaller pieces.
The Disaster Emergency Committee – February, 2023
The Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) brings together 15 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently at times of crisis overseas.
In February of 2023, devastating earthquakes hit Türkiye and Syria. We were deeply saddened by the impact of the earthquakes and wanted to play our part to help, so we pledged to donate 10% of sales on Sunday 19th February. Thanks to the incredible support from our customers, we were able to increase our pledge from 10% to 15%, making our donation total £4,000.

Ecologi’s mission is to inspire and empower businesses to accelerate global climate action.
In November we partnered with Ecologi again to support green initiatives across the globe. We pledged to plant 2 trees for every 250-piece puzzle or larger purchased on Green Friday. So we can work towards a green future, not just a Green Friday. We’re pleased to have funded 7,000 tress and now, our Wentworth Puzzle Forest now has a total of 62,300 trees funded and we are now on the top 100 business tree leaderboard!

Mind – May 2021
Mind is a mental health charity in England and Wales that offers information and advice to help people with mental health problems. During the coronavirus pandemic, when people turned to jigsaw puzzles not only for entertainment and to pass the time, but to help ease feelings of stress and anxiety. During Mental Health Awareness Week we pledged to donate 10% of sales from our brand new Mini Mindful puzzles to Mind. This year, we’re pleased to donate £2,395.20 to Mind.
Wiltshire Community Foundation – August, 2020
During the lockdown in 2020, when the world was reliant on key workers and everyone was told to stay home (probably doing jigsaw puzzles to pass the time) Wentworth Puzzles created a special puzzle to give thanks to all the key workers for their essential work during the pandemic. The puzzle artwork was designed by popular artist Julia Rigby, and we created a bespoke puzzle cut with the words ‘Thank you’ as puzzle pieces. We initially sought to raise £3,000 for the Wiltshire Community Foundation, but with the help and support of our customers, we far exceeded this and managed to raise 4 times this amount.
Mind – August, 2020
Through the funds raised from our ‘Say Thank You with a Rainbow‘ puzzle we raised £4,000 in donations for Mind – a mental health charity in England and Wales. During the pandemic, Mind was faced with the closure of their shops, which made it challenging for them to raise the money needed to provide information and services to millions of people, and at a time when more people than ever were struggling with their mental health. We are pleased that we could raise £4,000 in funds to help Mind fight mental health
Dementia UK – August, 2020
During the pandemic, Dementia UK campaigned on behalf of those caring for and living with Dementia. Dementia UK worked with the Care and Support Alliance to ensure that families were able to access the care they so urgently needed.
They also work with DEFRA and other supermarkets and charities to provide invaluable support and advice to those who need it most. We are pleased that we could raise £4,000 in donations for such an important cause.
Cotswold Dogs and Cats Home – August, 2020
Something a little closer to Wentworth HQ, the Cotswold Dogs and Cats Home is located in nearby Gloucestershire and experienced an influx of animals whose owners could no longer look after them during the pandemic.
We believe it’s important to look after everyone and everything. We are pleased that we could give back to a charity, close to Wentworth HQ and close to our hearts.
