DESIGNER HOUSES

Designer Houses are a free-lance company offering technical drawings for small works planning applications. They also offer advice and direction to clients in order for them to submit their own planning applications to their local planning office. 


One of their policies is to help develop and sustain local and national charities, as a way of giving back to the communities they work in.

Designer Houses have teamed up with Second Chance and are offering that for any client who use their services through Second Chance, the charity will receive a 50% net profit share from that clients tender.

SCLOVES

We are delighted to team up with the ‘Scloves’ company of partners Michael Gowdy and Lucy Saunders.

They are producing a lovely item that is a cross between a set of gloves and a scarf, hence ‘sclove’. It’s a delightfully simple idea that has a variety of applications. In its full length it serves to keep your hands and neck warm with no risk of losing the gloves. You can store things in the ‘pockets’ like a phone or a wallet. In its shorter lengths it is an ideal holder for a walkman or phone whilst still plugged into your ear. The uses and variations are unlimited!

They can be produced in a variety of colours and they are currently working on a ‘pompey blue’, hoping to sell to our local (to our head office) football team supporters.
Michael and Lucy have agreed to give 50% of the profit of each sale to the charity. That could be a great help towards reversing the current slump in funding caused by the recession.

We would commend you to have a look at their web page and drop in an order. We could all win with this one. A great and a very generous offer from the ‘Scloves’ team.

The photos show Michael and Lucy sporting a Sclove each, you don’t have to be that energetic to sport a Sclove! Doug Hulme our Chief Executive joined Lucy and Michael in the second photo in a much more sedate manner.

E & C EXPORT


We are pleased to announce a new trading partnership with E & C Export Ltd, of Dagenham, who operate a Cash for Clothes recycling scheme. We like their approach to the scheme and it is different to some of the schemes in the industry that have at times caused controversy. They have guaranteed a monthly income to the charity and we have got off to a flying start.

our Chief executive Doug Hulme, accepting the first monthly payment from E & C Exports Managing Director, Evaldas Cibulskis.

Doug Hulme said “In these times of recession we have to look to our friends for support to keep the work amongst Britains neediest of children going. If we can trade and help the economy at the same time, even better. We are delighted that E & C Exports have agreed
