Do Good

Childhood regained

Our charitable partner, social enterprise Brides do Good, believes in a world where all girls have the right to a childhood.

Every two seconds, a girl becomes a child bride. Each year, 12 million girls are married before they reach adulthood. These early marriages violate a child’s basic human rights, forcing them out of education, with a high statistical probability of increased violence, abuse, ill health and – in an alarming number of cases – early death.

Believing in a world where all girls have the right to a childhood, Brides do Good offers forward-thinking brides a more ethical way to wed and ensures that every step taken down the aisle is a step towards a fairer, more sustainable world.

Since 2016, the social enterprise has been mobilising the power of the bridal industry to help protect vulnerable women and girls around the world.

Brides Do Good

Charitable partner

Through the resale of pre-loved or pre-made wedding dresses donated by brides and brands, it funds international charity programmes aimed at empowering girls and ensuring they have access to the support and education they need to choose a brighter future of their own, free from the dangers of early marriage.

Having worked across Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria and Yemen, the organisation is now expanding into areas of the Middle East, where gender inequality and child marriage are still prominent. By partnering with the right experts to fund well-resourced and sustainable interventions – supporting education, health and community – they plan to accelerate the efforts to change the lives of these girls and women.

Bicester Village is partnered with Brides do Good as part of The Bicester Collection's DO GOOD network of charitable organisations and social enterprises, all of which work to empower women and children. Read more here
