Shine for ShelterBox
in your restaurant, cafe or bar
Shine for ShelterBox is the perfect way to reach out to your community, introduce them to your business whilst supporting disaster affected communities around the world.
This winter, we invite you to be part of Shine for ShelterBox, to involve your colleagues and guests to raise money for solar lights, emergency shelter and other essential items for families affected by disaster.
Family meals help to provide the framework for everyday life and establish a sense of normality. As winter brings shorter days and darker nights, solar lights help families to re-establish their normal routines like cooking and eating dinner together.
How You Could Get involved
1 - Add £1 per bill
You choose the month, week or day and add a pound to every bill to support ShelterBox. Of course, your guests can opt out, but we hope that many will choose to show their support.
2 - Donate takings from a selected dish
Pick a favourite from your menu to be your Shine for ShelterBox dish. You can choose a percentage of the cover charge that goes towards ShelterBox. Your guests can enjoy your delicious food knowing that they will be raising funds for families whose homes have been lost to disaster.
3 - Hold a Shine for ShelterBox supper club or fundraising evening
Have your very own Shine evening! Some of our previous supper clubs have even served dishes inspired by the countries we’ve worked in. Book a ShelterBox speaker to inspire guests and display our solar lights and other aid items to bring the evening to life. Charge an entry fee to cover the costs of the food plus a donation to ShelterBox.
Whether you run an exclusive eatery or a brilliant community pub, we’d love you to be part of Shine for ShelterBox in 2020.

Yolanda from Peru
Solar lights are vital for cooking and eating at night, especially if it gets dark early.
In Peru, solar lights helped families affected by mudslides [caused by torrential rain in 2017] to set up a community kitchen. Different people would take turns to cook meals and the community would get together to talk and eat.
Today’s menu is rice, beans, fried beef with peppers and onions, and a spicy sauce that is made of rocoto chillies with aubergine and sour cream” – Yolanda
People don’t have plates or places to eat, so they come here, and we sit together” – Lucita
