2024 was a cracker for Community Clothing and our social mission. Here's a letter from Patrick Grant, sharing more about our latest impact update.

Businesses could and should do good for society. They should make and sell objects of real and lasting value, things that give great pleasure and utility to their owners. They should sustain and create good jobs that people are proud to do. 

From scraps to banners welcoming in the delegation for the 2024 Design Council ' Design for Planet' Festival held at Manchester Metropolitan University.

A massive thanks to the hundreds of you who sent in designs for our first-ever CC gift card competition. We absolutely loved judging your fab illustrations, collages, prints and all the other brilliant designs you made.

We try our best to let nothing go to waste by using up the end of fabric rolls and deadstock materials from our factory in Blackburn, to create high quality products that can be put to use. Here's how we are moving towards zero waste.

In collaboration with sustainable stationery brand Mark + Fold we've found an innovative way to use scraps of denim from the factory floor. Introducing our denim notebooks, made with hand made paper (also out of our denim scraps) by the Paper Foundation.

Photographer Ella Thomson, a student at UCLan, has worked with Community Clothing on a number of shoots. We talk to her about her experiences, how they've shaped her and what she's looking to do in the future.

Ryan Mallinson, who set up his excellent waxed jacket repair business,Mallin & Son, as a passion project in 2019, believes that “every stitch tells a story” and that every time you rewax your jacket, you’re adding new chapters to the story as well as extra texture and depth.

An impact update from Patrick Grant. Business really does have the power to do lots of good. Not just good for shareholders, good for everyone; customers, employees, their communities, and the planet. This idea of doing good is central to how we work at Community Clothing.

We love a festival here at Team CC.  There's nothing we like more than dressing up and gathering in a field with our friends to dance, make, create, watch and laugh.​

The team here have picked a few of their favourite CC pieces of clobber that are perfect for the summer ahead. All are made with the British weather in mind!
