World Homeless Day is a moment to reflect on the role organisations can play in creating pathways out of homelessness. While donations are helpful, there are many more practical ways to support progress – such as inclusive employment opportunities and everyday business decisions.
What truly sets the re:mind range apart is that its impact extends far beyond the washroom. All re:mind products are finished, checked and packed at the Crisis warehouse in Canning Town, London, by people facing barriers to employment, including homelessness and disability.
Through Amplify Goods’ paid work experience programme, participants gain up to ten days of living-wage employment, building confidence, skills and real-world experience in a safe, supportive environment. This social value isn’t bolted on – it’s embedded into how re:mind is made. A single refill – first re:mind glass bottle, for example- creates 10 minutes of work, uses 65g of repurposed cardboard, and generates around £30 of social value (SROI).
For Bunzl customers, this means that choosing re:mind turns routine procurement into meaningful action. Every refill contributes to inclusive employment and community impact, helping organisations demonstrate social value in a tangible, credible way.
On World Homelessness Day, re:mind stands as proof that everyday essentials can help open doors. With the right partnerships, thoughtful design and shared intent, products can do more than meet operational needs – they can help build a fairer, more inclusive future. This is luxury with purpose.
