With Extraordinary Grace (WEG) is a passion fundraiser project founded in 2020. Joy (That's me! I'm the single person behind the brand!) was a volunteer for Hope4 charity when it operated as a local food bank between the years 2019 - 2020. In December 2020, the founders of Hope4 announced that they will be moving to Moldova to help orphans, families in poverty and victims of human trafficking. Where Joy could no longer volunteer on a weekly basis, she created WEG and originally donated all profits generated to Hope4. Now, Hope4 also supports grassroots initiatives in schools around Moldova, support temporarily displaced Ukranians living in Moldova, and distributes humanitarian aid into Ukraine and Turkey. WEG currently donates 20% of all profits to Hope4 charity.
With Extraordinary Grace aims to raise awareness for the work of Hope4, whilst creating handmade jewellery using sterling silver and gold filled findings designed to be loved and worn for many years to come. Her beautiful jewellery is often inspired by the people she meets and the materials she works with.
Joy is currently pursuing her PhD in Molecular Microbiology at the University of Portsmouth.
