Brookvale candle business opens Christmas fundraiser to Northern Beaches schools and clubs

CandleXchange, the Brookvale-based sustainable candle business, has opened its Christmas Fundraising Program for 2026, inviting local schools and sporting clubs to pre-sell its candles and diffusers ahead of the festive season. Under the program, schools, kindergartens, sporting clubs and other community groups receive a free campaign kit from CandleXchange, including launch messaging, social media tiles, newsletter content and a unique fundraising code linked to their organisation. Supporters then order directly through the CandleXchange website using that code, choosing from a range of soy candles, reed diffusers, room sprays and toilet drops, all made in Australia. CandleXchange manages the ordering, packing and delivery, timing dispatch so orders arrive in time for Christmas events or end-of-year functions. Participating organisations keep 25 per cent of all sales made through their campaign, with no stock to buy upfront and no leftover inventory risk.
