Madlug™

How do you feel when you learn that most children in care have their belongings moved in bin bags? Every Madlug bag sold provides a pack-away travel bag to children and young people in care. Our ‘Buy One, Wear One, Help One approach’ has been supported by thousands of Madluggers across the county, and because of your support we have been able to help over 110,000 children and young people in care over the last nine years.

We’ve captured some fantastic moments from the event, showcasing the pride and joy these thoughtful gifts have brought. These images are a true testament to the positive impact of our partnership. This appreciation post celebrates our collaboration and recognizes the amazing work you do. Together, we’re creating meaningful change in the lives of young people.

In this week’s episode of More Than a Bag, Dave shares why Madlug chooses not to use images or videos of children and young people in care to sell our bags. At Madlug, we believe that no child or young person should have to sit in front of a camera or share their story to receive a pack-away travel bag. These bags are a gift given freely, with no strings attached—because every young person has huge value, huge worth and deserves to be treated with dignity. Equally, we believe that our customers—the incredible Madlug community—don’t need images of children in care to be inspired to make a difference. You care deeply about supporting children and young people, which is why you choose to shop with Madlug and gift with purpose. Listen to Dave’s full thoughts in this week’s episode and join us in our mission to give dignity to children in care 👉https://lnkd.in/dn3PERmk
