You can also lookup your local environment or social centre and see how you can help out there.

Still considering a Premium E-Gift Card? Read Amelia's story on why she gifted her employee, Emily a year's worth of designer clothing through GC Premium.
Amelia: I wanted to gift Emily something special for Christmas that represented how grateful I was for all her hard work throughout the year in my business. My gift criteria for Emily was for something that's stylish, practical and sustainable.
And so, I found that the Glamcorner Premium Subscription was the perfect fit! Emily instantly had endless corporate/casual and event wardrobe overnight. It benefited her personal life as well as professional, so as a work gift, it ticked every box. Emily always looks on point at all of our events and meetings and represents my business beautifully.
