Artisanal Veterans’ candle

In association with Combat Stress.

Thanks to your support we are able to donate £3.00 to Combat Stress with every sale of the Veterans' candle. Each candle is hand-poured by a veteran for veterans, creating a unique conversation piece. Start talking about mental health with our Veterans’s Candle.

The Veterans’ candle is a collectors piece, shaped from pure beeswax to treasure over the years or to light if you wish as a candle for special events, to honour the fallen, to reflect on your service, to promote mindfulness amidst chaos, to ignite conversations about mental health.

The Veterans’ candle is so much more than just a candle; it is a symbol of resilience, transformation and renewal.

Customer Reviews

  • Great candle in support of Combat Stress

    I've bought a few candles as gifts from Made By Bees but got this one for myself. Really nice piece, and in support of a very worthy cause. Happy to recommend.

    Amazing .

Meet the chandler

After leaving the Army, I worked as a civilian contractor in over 50 countries, including 5 years in Afghanistan.

I have lost too many friends and colleagues to suicide.

I'm excited about this project, as I finally feel I can do something positive, instead of regretting not saying something or being aware earlier.
