Pieces That Make a Difference: How Wentworth Wooden Puzzles Supports Mental Wellbeing and Dementia Care
Since 1991, Wentworth Wooden Puzzles has been crafting beautifully made wooden jigsaw puzzles here in Britain. Designed to offer moments of calm, focus and connection, their puzzles provide a mindful, screen-free pastime that brings a rewarding sense of accomplishment from the first piece to the last.
That focus on wellbeing makes the company's charitable partnerships a natural extension of its mission. Through Work for Good, Wentworth Wooden Puzzles supports both Alzheimer's Society and the Mental Health Foundation. Together, the charities help improve the lives of people affected by dementia and mental health challenges through support services, research, education and awareness, reflecting the same focus on wellbeing and connection that lies at the heart of Wentworth Wooden Puzzle’s products.
"Given the well-established links between jigsaw puzzles, dementia and mental wellbeing, we're proud that our products can make a positive difference."
The partnerships also reflect the different ways customers enjoy the company’s puzzles. During key awareness campaigns, including Mental Health Awareness Week and Dementia Action Week, the business donates a percentage of sales from carefully selected puzzle collections.
For the Mental Health Foundation, this includes the Mini Mindful range - smaller, nature-themed puzzles designed to encourage relaxation and provide a calming escape. For Alzheimer's Society, the focus is on large piece wooden puzzles, created to offer a more accessible and enjoyable activity for people living with dementia.
"Supporting these charities enables us to give back to causes that matter deeply to both our team and our customers. Many people find us while searching for mindful activities to support their mental wellbeing, or when looking for something enjoyable and stimulating for a loved one living with dementia."
Alongside fundraising, Wentworth Wooden Puzzles also donates puzzles directly to charitable organisations, helping bring moments of connection, enjoyment and mindful activity to even more people.
"Knowing that our puzzles can bring moments of calm, connection and enjoyment is something we're incredibly proud of. We're committed to continuing our charitable giving because we know our products can make a positive difference."
Work for Good helps make these fundraising campaigns simple to manage, providing an easy way to administer donations raised through product sales so the team can focus on creating meaningful customer experiences and supporting the charities they care about.
The result is a business where purpose is built into every puzzle. Every awareness campaign creates another opportunity for customers to support causes that closely align with why they chose the puzzles in the first place.
Key takeaway:
Wentworth Wooden Puzzles shows how products designed to support wellbeing can also become a powerful force for good - turning moments of calm, connection and accomplishment into meaningful support for mental health and dementia charities.
