If you and your customers are looking for great, affordable products which are robust, made to last but most of all fun to play with, you’ll love our ranges.
Set up in 2011 to support grassroots childhood projects, Cosy gives more than 10% of our profits to the charity Cosy Foundation to support social causes, via table top sized charities and voluntary groups. We’ve committed £300K to support 80+ community projects in this year alone.
Main areas of activity include:
UK Community Based activities
The foundation supports a wide and varied range of community activities including Cosy Camp Field Activities, Derby Kids’ Camp, Local Museum Education Programmes and many more volunteer led projects.
Developing Countries
With projects in Kenya, Tanzania and The Gambia we’ve built classrooms, provided fresh water in schools, sponsored and fed students, helped support teachers and developed sport coaches in schools.
Supporting Educators
Our foundation funds a range of projects to support teachers and other educators including the Birth to 5 Matters curriculum development and National Childhood Campaign. We provide lots of social content to share ideas and giveaway product, provide PhD bursaries to support research into early education and provide funding to smaller projects, for example Derby Book Festival.
Cosy are passionate about the value of children enjoying a natural environment. As you’d expect, we’re also passionate about our planet too.
We like to keep it natural by embracing sustainable manufacturing and being responsible about where we source our products to reduce our carbon footprint. Our products are sourced from craft based suppliers and small businesses across Europe and the UK wherever possible. A large majority of our ranges are made from natural materials that can be recycled. We upcycle items and repurpose their use such as our popular cable drum tables and stools, and barrel rockers.
We’re working hard to ditch plastic in our packaging and replacing it with sustainable alternatives.
