By Windhorse Evolution on Fri, 16 Jan, 2015 - 13:37 Sadly – after over 30 years of bringing ethically sourced gifts and home ware to the High Street – Windhorse:evolution will be closing down over the next few months. Having made this difficult decision, our aim now is to close in an ethical way that preserves our reputation being an honest, open and principled retailer.

By Windhorse Evolution on Tue, 9 Dec, 2014 - 14:57We are nearly in the last two weeks of the 100 Days of Ethical Giving Campaign.

Christmas is drawing ever closer and regardless of how we spend the season, we may have gifts to buy.
