A large group of women at a hen party can be carnage, but also presents an opportunity to make a real difference and do some good without skipping the fun parts.

Amy Sillince had an idea at a hen party. She paid attention to how much people were spending, how much time they had spare, what food was wasted and what items were bought for single use. The idea? Hens with Heart.

Amy came to visit me in Brighton, one of the top cities for hen parties in the UK, and completed opened my mind to the concept of finding a moment to give back when you're with your besties. This is not about beach cleans and charity shop volunteering, although you can, this is as simple as donaing a beauty product to a local collection point or writing a letter to someone who's lonely or sick. 

Amy also shares her top tips on hen party planning and how to waste less and buy better. We also share our own stories from hen parties and have a laugh at banana shaped things.
