At Skopes, we believe in the power of collaboration and giving back to the community. That's why we are immensely proud and honoured to continue our partnership with Newlife, a charity that is making a significant difference in the lives of disabled and terminally ill children. The work they undertake is not just inspiring, it's life-changing, and it resonates deeply with every member of our team here at Skopes.
Newlife extends a lifeline to families in need. Their mission involves offering crucial support by providing life-changing and life-saving specialist disability equipment precisely when and where it is needed. Disabilities can arise from various causes, such as childhood cancers, birth defects, accidents, diseases, and infections. Newlife steps in to bridge the gap, ensuring that these children and their families receive the support they need to live their lives to the fullest potential.
Our partnership with Newlife began in 2017, and over the years we’ve actively contributed to their cause. We have donated customer returns, faulty stock, and surplus items to them, which in turn has seen them collect an astounding 618 cartons of stock from us. To put this into perspective, these 618 cartons are estimated to be equivalent to 6180 garments. This also translates into nearly five tonnes of clothing being diverted away from landfills!
By repurposing and reusing these garments, we’re not only reducing waste but also making a huge difference to the lives of those who need it most. Every piece of clothing diverted from landfill stands as a step toward a more sustainable future, and more importantly, it symbolises hope and support for children and families facing immense challenges.
As we move forward, we remain dedicated to supporting Newlife in their mission. Together, we can create a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the challenges they face.
If you can, we encourage you to donate to Newlife’s Christmas appeal by giving the gift of play. They are currently appealing for support with funding for the Play Therapy Pod Service that they provide. Hundreds of disabled children are now on the waiting list to receive specialist toy loans. Newlife want to help as many families as they possibly can, but they cannot do it without the support of people like you.
