Welcome to HOPE WEEK
2026 will mark the very first HOPE WEEK for Morro & Co.
Every September, alongside R U OK? Day we will set aside one week to encourage something beautifully simple: checking in, staying connected and reminding people they're not alone.
I am so incredibly excited for this and where it can go. Meaningful conversations and acts of kindness will be the beginning.
SEPTEMBER 7 - 13th 2026
Fragrance of HOPE
Hope is something we give each other.
There is always HOPE.
After losing my mum to suicide in 2008, I spent years searching for hope in places that often felt empty. When I eventually created Morro & Co, HOPE became one of the very first fragrances I poured by hand. It wasn't created simply to smell beautiful. It was created to remind people that brighter days still exist, even when they're difficult to see.
Crafted with sweet nectarine, fresh mint and lime zest, it has quietly become one of the most meaningful fragrances in our collection.
Each year during HOPE Week, this fragrance becomes the symbol of the week itself. It's the candle we'll light, the fragrance we'll share and the reminder that hope grows when it's passed from one person to another.
Today, this fragrance represents something much bigger than something that smells nice.
It represents every conversation, every act of kindness and every reminder that no one should have to walk through life alone. HOPE Week grew from the same belief.
Hope isn't something we keep, ut's something we share.
Why HOPE Week?
It started with one simple question...
What if one small act of hope could change someone's day?
When I created Morro & Co, I wasn't trying to build a candle company, I simply wanted to create something that reminded people they weren't alone.
Over the years I've been privileged to hear stories from customers lighting candles during grief, celebrating new beginnings, honouring loved ones and navigating seasons they never expected to face. Those stories reminded me of something beautiful.
Hope is rarely found in grand gestures, but more often, it arrives in quiet moments.
A conversation.
A handwritten note.
A hug.
A meal dropped at someone's door.
Someone asking..."How are you... really?"
The more I reflected on that, the more one thought stayed with me,
What if we all chose to make a little more space for hope?
That's where HOPE Week began.
My story of HOPE
A week dedicated to choosing hope.
Hi, I'm Claire.
After losing my mum and two aunties to suicide, I spent years searching for hope. There were days when it felt impossible to find, and I often wondered if it even existed anymore.
But slowly, I realised hope wasn't found in one life-changing moment. It was found in the small things. A conversation. A kind word. A quiet reminder that tomorrow could be different.
When I started Morro & Co, I wasn't trying to build a candle business. I was trying to create something that reminded people they weren't alone.
I know how powerful the gift of hope can be. HOPE Week is simply the next chapter of that story.
