Happy Earth Day 2022! 🌍
Happy Earth Day to all your fellow Earth dwellers out there!
The big day is here once again and we're so excited to share with you some amazing things we're doing to celebrate this special day in style.
With the environment at the forefront of everything we aim for, we're always striving to be and become as sustainable as possible through the materials we use, the way we handle and reduce waste and throughout all operations.
What is Earth Day?
Established by the junior senator from Wisconsin Gaylord Nelson back in 1970, Earth Day has become a global day of action and change where people can not only educate themselves about their effect on the world around them but make positive changes to reduce any future impact.
As part of our ongoing efforts to become as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible, we're so excited to be launching our exclusive new collection of Earth Day TShirts today!

TruffleShufflers Give Back - Which Chairties Did We Nominate?
Living in these strange and stressful times, it's been clearer to us more than ever, the importance of supporting charities and amazing causes in any way we can.
Whether it's donating product for raffles, supporting small fundraisers, sponsoring kit, supplying gifts for free goodie bags for NHS staff or pledging financial aid, we get so many requests from wonderful charities for support and we always do our best to help as many as we possibly can.
This year, we wanted to go a bit further so, at the end of 2020, we asked every TruffleShuffle staff member to choose a charity or initiative which meant something to them to receive an additional donation of £500.
Some split their donation over multiple causes so these donations helped to support a huge breadth of totally amazing causes and organisations, all doing simply outstanding work in their field.
With some charities new to a lot of us, we wanted to highlight their ongoing efforts and incredible work so in no particular order, here they all are. Weâve linked out to their websites so you can find out more.
Thanks so much for reading!

Shiver me timbers! Raft Race Results Are In!
So as you may know if you read our blog post last week, this Sunday, the TruffleShuffle team took part in the Portishead Raft Race!
The aim was to raise as much money as possible for the RNLI Portishead Lifeboat and have a bit of fun at the same time.
Well you'll be glad to hear we succeeded on both counts and we were thrilled to come away with two prizes, one for 'Best Designed Raft' and the second (and most important in our opinion) for most money raised by a team.
We raised a whopping £3,241 for the Portishead Lifeboat and we'd like to say a huge thank to you to everyone who sponsored us. We really can't tell you how much we and the RNLI appreciate every penny.
Now for the bad news, despite the best efforts of our valiant crew, we came second to last in the actual raft race! Although our raft looked pretty damn awesome (even if we do say so ourselves,) it turned out our home made paddles were pretty useless and the whole raft was pretty wobbly once in the water; cue plenty of capsizes and lots of wet sailors. Shiver me timbers - quite literally!
