About Us

Gifts that change lives sells a wide range of gifts to suit all tastes and styles. We are an online brand from TLM Trading, a mail order company which in turn is wholly owned by a charity, The Leprosy Mission (TLM). TLM Trading aims to remit as much of its profits as possible to The Leprosy Mission, as well as raise awareness of the charity's work.

But it’s not just the money we raise that will change lives. A number of our products have been especially designed and handmade by highly skilled yet disabled artisans in developing countries. Just about all of them have endured stigma and social exclusion on a heart-rending scale that is hard for us to appreciate in the western world. Without the orders we give them, many would struggle to find a livelihood. Indeed, many would be begging.

By providing a sustainable livelihood for them, your orders give something that money can not buy – dignity.

So if you would like to buy a gift – either for yourself or your friends and family – please be assured that buying through us will make a real difference to someone’s life.
