We want to speak honestly with our community.
This time last year, Wonky Candles was in a very similar position. Orders were slow, costs were rising, and the future felt uncertain. You showed up for us in ways we will never forget. Because of your support, Wonky didn’t just survive — it continued to do good, to welcome people in, and to exist at all.
Now, we find ourselves here again — but the pressures are heavier.
The cost of living continues to rise, and so do the costs of materials, utilities, and running a physical space. We’ve made every possible cut to keep going. We don’t heat the building unless absolutely necessary, trying to keep bills down — but this is far from ideal, especially when we are running experience sessions for SEND children, where comfort, warmth, and a safe environment truly matter.
We are doing everything we can to protect what Wonky stands for, but we can’t do it alone.
Over the past year, we’ve all watched well-known, established names disappear from the high street. Businesses many assumed would always be there — suddenly gone. We don’t want Wonky Candles to become another one of those stories.
Wonky is more than candles. It’s about sustainability, inclusion, community, and creating a space where people — especially those who often feel overlooked — are welcomed and valued. Losing Wonky would mean losing all of that too.
If you are able to support us right now — by placing an order, booking a session, sharing our posts, or simply talking about what we do — it genuinely makes a difference. Your support last year kept our doors open. Your support now could help ensure they stay open.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with us.�🌈♥️🌈
