The Jelly Bean Campaign was founded over 12 years ago as an innovative and fun way of helping The Acorns Children's Hospice raise much needed funds. Over this period we have raised over £3/4million for not only Acorns, but for many other children's hospices and children's charities throughout the UK.

The success of our fund raising activities stems from our unique belief in giving a thank you every time a purchase is made, to this end we were the first ever UK organisation to utilise an attractive free standing and compact Jelly Bean Vending Machine. For just .20p the vendor gives a generous handful of the finest tasty Jelly Beans which proved to be very popular with all the sites that kindly offered to home one of our famous little red vendors. Since then we have added the choice of chocolate Galaxy Minstrels to ensure that everyone gets a little of what they fancy!

As word of our unique and fun Jelly Bean Campaign got out, we received requests from companies large and small throughout the UK wanting to enjoy one of our compact vendors, due to the logistics of placing and servicing the vendors as far apart as Aberdeen in Scotland and Looe in Cornwall, it was apparent that we needed help to be able to provide these vendors throughout the country. We solved this problem by recruiting Local Organisers who were prepared to operate the Jelly Bean campaign in their local area. We now have over 50 dedicated individuals managing 1000's of our famous little red vendors.

Our high quality self contained vendors are secure for both the product and cash and are supplied on an informal FREE loan basis for as long as the site wishes to enjoy the facility. The vendor is completely FREE and there are no contracts or conditions and the site has NO RESPONSIBILITY what so ever for the vendor or it's contents, we keep everything simple and fun, and are grateful for your support, without which, the Jelly Bean Campaign cannot raise desperately needed funds for life limited children.

Although our default charity for our funding is always The Acorns Children's Hospice our latest campaign is in response to requests from many sites over the past few years for funding for their local children's charities. The present "You Choose..." campaign gives all sites the opportunity to nominate a local registered children's charity or your chosen corporate charity for a cash award from The Jelly Bean Campaign Children's Charity Award Fund. To nominate your local children's charity simply e-mail us with your details, the details of the nominated children's charity including their charity registration number, address and phone number.
