Big Issue North is thrilled to announce a festive collaboration with renowned Manchester artist Stanley Chow and sock specialists Stand4Socks, launching a limited-edition series of cozy and stylish socks just in time for Christmas. This special collection not only aims to keep you warm but also supports those in need across the North of England, making it a perfect gift this holiday season.
A Meaningful Contribution to a Worthy Cause
Every pair purchased directly contributes to Big Issue North’s mission of empowering individuals experiencing poverty. The organisation provides opportunities for people to earn an income, gain stability, and transform their lives through their innovative approach. This year, the partnership aims to raise funds to support vendors in the North West, Yorkshire, and the Humber, who work tirelessly to sell the Big Issue magazine.
Exclusive Designs from a Celebrated Artist
The limited-edition sock collection features two new exclusive designs created by the talented Stanley Chow. Renowned for his unique illustrative style, Stanley has collaborated with various high-profile projects, including The White Stripes and covers for The New York Times. His work has gained international acclaim, and now, his artistry can be worn on your feet. The sock series showcases Stanley’s signature graphic, minimalist pixel design and a whimsical Christmas Elf design, transforming each pair into a piece of wearable art.
“I had the opportunity to design the pair of socks I’ve always wanted to wear,” said Stanley Chow. “Selling them will help raise money for a charity that I wholeheartedly support. What’s not to like about that?!”
Affordable Festivity with a Purpose
Priced at just £12.99 per pair or £29.99 for all three designs, this festive collection makes an excellent Christmas gift while contributing to a noble cause. Remarkably, 100% of the profits from each sale go directly to Big Issue North. This ensures that every purchase supports individuals in need, providing them with the opportunity to earn an income, develop skills, and work towards independence.
Stand4Socks: Socks with a Mission
Stand4Socks, a Manchester-based company known for their high-quality, personalised socks, shares a commitment to giving back to the community. For every pair of charity socks sold, Stand4Socks donates a durable, antibacterial pair to someone experiencing homelessness.
