Impact fund

Good for business, people, and the planet

“Veterans are at the heart of Carma - my co-founder served in the Royal Navy for 13 years, we employ veterans, and proudly support organisations like The Standing Tall Foundation (STF) and HighGround.

Through the Carma Impact Fund, every UK tree planted helps drive wider impact - we donate 3% of our revenues to the Standing Tall Foundation, and for every 1,000 trees funded, we give £400 to HighGround to support veteran career transitions."

The Standing Tall Foundation (STF), founded by Andy Reid MBE, is a UK-based charity dedicated to improving the mental and physical well-being of individuals from all walks of life, including veterans.

Rooted in Andy's own remarkable story of resilience, the foundation provides free professional services and support for people struggling with a range of challenges.

The STF offers support to people in three ways:

Why the STF?

We believe climate action should walk hand-in-hand with social impact. That's why we're proud to contribute 3% of all our revenues to the Standing Tall Foundation.

This partnership is especially close to our hearts, not only because of the link with veterans, but because of the foundation's commitment to resilience, dignity, and second chances mirrors our own values at Carma.

Mental health

Rapid, professional mental health support is at the heart of the foundation's mission. From PTSD and anxiety to depression and grief, they offer confidential help to those in need, including veterans, young people, and the wider community.

Highground

HighGround is a UK charity helping service leavers, veterans, and reservists find new purpose through careers in the land-based sector - like farming, conservation, forestry, and horticulture.

Their Rural Weeks Programme is a week-long residential course that gives participants hands-on exposure, expert guidance, and real career pathways into meaningful outdoor work. 93% of course attendees feel more prepared for employment after their courses.

Why Highground?

At Carma, we recognise the invaluable service and sacrifices made by our veterans. To support their transition to fulfilling civilian careers, we are committed to contributing £400 towards the Rural Weeks courses for every 1,000 trees funded.

This initiative not only aids in funding HighGround's transformative programmes but also underscores our dedication to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. By linking our tree sales to veteran support, we aim to create a positive impact that resonates both environmentally and within the veteran community.

Through this partnership, Carma and HighGround collaboratively foster new beginnings for veterans, nurturing growth in both their professional lives and the environment.
