Each month we celebrate Beam day! The last Wednesday of the month is always a highlight for Mustard. That's when we send everyone who has ordered within the month an email, telling them about the donation and offering them the opportunity to choose the person whose campaign they'd like their donation to go towards. If the customer doesn't pick a person the money will be shared evenly to all current campaigns so don't worry, it won't be wasted!
We then make the payment to Beam + the people they support get a step closer to their goals. Yay!
What is Beam?
Beam is a world-first online platform that crowd funds for training courses + professional qualifications for homeless people, then supports them into stable careers.
As a social impact business, Beam uses crowdfunding technology to make it safe and easy for anyone to help homeless people, by connecting the public with the people on their platform. Beam advocates transparency, with every campaign showing an exact budget on the website and sharing the progress each individual is making towards their employment goals.

Where does the money go?
The £5 will be donated to Beam. You have the choice of selecting a single person's campaign, or having it spread evenly across all the current campaigns. Every member on the platform has a unique story, with unique goals they need help achieving. We hope (and highly recommend!) you'll take the time to read their stories, look at the budget breakdown of what the money will be used for and to follow their journey. It's a beautiful process. The backing they receive is just as much about the human connection as it is the money.
