Honey for Hope
The aim of Honey for Hope, operating under Belief in Action, is simple: to sell beautiful Transylvanian honey to raise funds. All the profit raised goes to support the teams and projects in Romania.
By buying the honey from Transylvania, we are helping those connected with our projects to generate an income and be self-sufficient.
About the Honey.
We love honey! This honey is special. 100% pure, completely untreated, organic, and delicious.
It comes from the untouched mountains of the Salaj region of Transylvania. It is collected by a master beekeeper who only produces the highest quality of honey.
Honey is known to be a ‘superfood’ with significant healing properties. This was a quality not lost on ancient civilisations and increasingly noticed by the modern generation. In August 2018, the UK NICE (National Institute of Care Excellence) issued advice to the general public to use honey as a remedy for a cough rather than visit their local doctor.
Apart from being delicious to eat raw, honey is used extensively in cooking around the world and is a natural substitute for sugar.
About the project.
We buy the honey in barrels and bring it to the UK for jarring, labelling and selling. All along the way are volunteers helping in these tasks. This ensures that ALL profits go directly to the people and projects.
We sell by word of mouth, at church events, markets and deli’s. We use fully recyclable or biodegradable packaging. We can sell kegs to zero-packaging retailers.
Why do we do it?
We want to impact for good, the lives of people with disabilities living in poor conditions – to support, enable and improve their quality of life from one of social isolation, dependence and marginalisation.
Gift Boxes
Honey for Hope are delighted to offer a range of high quality gift boxes which make a delicious present for friends and family.
Our highly sought after Romanian honey is purchased to support master beekeepers who are connected to our projects in Romania. We have combined the honey with products sourced from local suppliers to support small businesses and charities in Wiltshire. Presented in recyclable packaging we aim to reduce the impact on the environment whilst returning all profits to charity.
