SOCKSHOP reaches £30,000 donation milestone

As Pride celebrations return across the UK this summer, SOCKSHOP is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with the LGBT Foundation through its pride sock collection, a range dedicated not only to celebrate individuality and self expression, but to actively support the LGBTQ+ community.

Featuring the classic Pride rainbow across crew, knee-high, and trainer sock styles, alongside designs inspired by the Progress Pride flag, the collection champions visibility, inclusivity and solidarity.

Since first launching the initiative in 2018, SOCKSHOP has donated 20 percent from every pair sold to the LGBT Foundation, helping to fund vital services for LGBTQ+ people across the UK.

This year marks a significant milestone for the partnership, with £30,000 raised to date.

“We are immensely proud of our continued partnership with SockShop and we want to say a huge thank you for reaching the incredible milestone of £30,000 raised,” said Sarah Miguel, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at LGBT Foundation.

“At a time when LGBTQ+ rights are increasingly under threat, it means so much to have partners like SockShop, and their customers, continue to stand alongside us. Their support not only makes our life-saving work possible, but also sends a powerful message of solidarity and hope to LGBTQ+ communities.”

Funds raised through the partnership have directly supported LGBT Foundation’s life-saving services, with the £30,000 milestone enough to:

• Provide more than 450 hours of talking therapies support.
• Answer over 1,300 crisis helpline calls.
• Deliver more than 2,500 rapid HIV tests.

“Socks may be a small part of your outfit, but they can make a big impact,” says SOCKSHOP.

“They can change your whole look and even start a conversation. As rainbow colours fill the streets this summer, this collection is our way of showing support to the LGBTQ+ community, and we’re incredibly proud to continue giving back through our partnership with LGBT Foundation.”

The SOCKSHOP Pride collection is available now.
