Our mission is to bring a sense of hope and dignity to children entering and moving around the UK foster care system by ending the practise of black bin bags and shopping bags through the provision of a backpack filled with items centred around their needs and showing them they are loved and respected. A comfort case. We also supply empty flat pack duffels bags so that precious belongings can be packed with care and respect. Our work is funded by grants, donations and sponsorship so that we can offer a child-centred free service to Local Authorities, Independent Agencies and Homes, Secure Units, the Police Service and NHS. #nomorebinbags

#SmallCharityWeek: We're supporting Comfort Cases UK 🌟 At Carter Brown, we believe in making a difference, especially when it comes to the well-being of children entering the care system. This #SmallCharityWeek, we are proud to support Comfort Cases UK, a charity that provides children with essential items and comforting belongings, offering them a sense of security during challenging times. Did you know that four out of five children move homes with their belongings in bin bags, risking damage or loss? Comfort Cases UK is changing that narrative. By partnering with over 100 UK Local Authorities, they strive to provide a sense of belonging and safety for children aged 0-18. We're excited to announce our commitment to this cause: 💙 Donating 50p from every confirmed case 💙 Contributing all proceeds from our fundraising events this year 💙 Aiming to provide a minimum of 50 cases to support this incredible charity Join us in making a positive impact! If you want to find out more, visit the Comfort Cases UK website and discover how you can help. #CarterBrown #ComfortCasesUK #CharitySupport #MakingADifference #ChildWelfare #CommunitySupport
WE NEED YOUR HELP ‼️ Our backpack supplier is out of stock until early September 🙈😫 A Comfort Case doesn’t exist unless we have rucksacks! #️⃣ the dimensions are 43x14x30cm (or 20L) 🎒They must be proper rucksacks, not drawstring bags ❤️they must be good quality and sturdy 🏷️ ideal no company branding (we want the young people to fit it with their peers and not experience more stigma or discrimination) As a community, I am hoping that someone in our collective networks will be able to help. Please share this with your networks - we are looking to source approx 1000 rucksacks asap as our shelves are almost bare…….. #branding #wholesale #procurement #bags #rucksacks #corporatedonsti
Bank of America & My Very Own Blanket collaborated to provide bright and colourful handmade blankets for our #comfortcases to be gifted to #childrenincare. What a beautiful gift of comfort and love ❤️ #corporatevolunteering #giveback #handmadewithlove #treasuresnottrash #dignityhopelove
What does a #smallcharity really need? As ever, Steve is spot on (hopefully not about the #euros!) It’s #smallcharityweek. What can you do to make a difference? How do you support your small local charities?
Charity Coach 🎯 Helping people who do good do GREAT 🚀 1:1 coaching, fun facilitation & well-good workshops💡 No-nonsense non-profit insights💥 WARNING: may contain humour 🤣 🇬🇧
Back on your feed like England back home next Monday morning 🤣 Thanking small charities is cute, but here’s what they REALLY need: • More funding for core costs. • Less admin & bureaucracy. • Your time, skills & experience. • Staff training & progression. • Longer-term, secure funds. • More coverage in the media. • Effective, committed Trustees. • Increased capacity on the team. • Influence, to be taken seriously. • Actions, not just words. What else would you add? #SmallCharitiesWeek #Charity #Nonprofit PS: Pleased to report my wife’s doing much better, but still in hospital so if you're waiting for me to get back to you, thanks for your patience - I'm playing catch-up.

Ashley John-Baptiste is a published author 🌟🤩 Our ceo Sarah Jacoby had the priviledge to share a room filled with an audience of #careexperienced friends, #broadcasting and #journalist colleagues, family. The warmth and love for this man exuded and filled the space, and he returned it with humility and kindness - championing people in the crowd. Dr Sophie Mort allowed Ashley to shine and be real, an expert interview, which gave us genuine glimpses into the man before us. So wonderful to see Andy Smith (Smash Life), Chris Wild, Valerie Tulloch, Ric Diaghe aka Ric Flo, Judith AM Denton LLB (Hons), CeMAP, Cert CII, lemn sissay, Lucy Barnes, Sharon White, Sarah Thomas Brigid Robinson and many more. As one of Ashley’s school friends said “a light has always shone from inside him”. Keep shining 🌟 We appreciate you.
