The Honey Raffle 2025
Here at Fortnum's, we love to raise funds for an incredible charity called Bees for Development. And this year is no exception, because our Honey Raffle is back! But how do you enter?
It's simple! If you make a minimum donation of £5 to Bees for Development charity, each entry will go into a prize draw, and you'll be in with the chance of winning an un-bee-lievable honey-themed hamper worth over £650 – including the first jar of Piccadilly Rooftop Honey, as well as the first jars from our other locations to gift to your friends.
The winner is also able to nominate five friends, and each will receive a jar of one of the following: Royal Albert Hall Honey, Hoxton Docks Honey, White Cube Honey, St. Pancras Honey and Somerset House Honey. A combination of factors, including habitat loss, climate change and pesticide use has seen bee numbers devastated in recent years. Research suggests that the UK has lost an average of 11 species of bee and hoverfly between 1980 and 2013 in every square kilometre of the country.
Your entry will help Bees for Development promote sustainable beekeeping to combat poverty and to build sustainable, resilient livelihoods across the globe.
Bees for Development
Bees for Development is a global charity, whose aim is to make life much better with bees. Since they were founded all the way back in 1993, they've promoted sustainable beekeeping to combat poverty, build resilient livelihoods and benefit biodiversity.
The money raised from previous Fortnum’s Honey Raffles has made a huge difference to people’s lives through beekeeping, and Bees for Development have been able to support projects in both Zimbabwe and Uganda as a result.
Savings Grow with Bees - Zimbabwe
In partnership with a local organisation in Zimbabwe, Bees for Development delivered the project Savings Grow with Bees in the Makoni District and provided training to three women’s groups, helping them to get started in beekeeping. All participants learned how to make their own beehives, set up apiaries, harvest honey and establish sustainable honey businesses.
Bees Empower Women - Uganda
In Uganda, women were participating and benefiting less from beekeeping activities than men. To address this, Bees for Development launched the Bees Empower Women project in Adjumani enabling 100 women to take up beekeeping, sell honey and achieve more sustainable livelihoods.
