Kindness, Compassion and Tolerance - A Letter From Patrick Grant, Founder of Community Clothing

  • 1 min read

We are deeply saddened by the death of her Majesty The Queen.

 

She had an endless capacity for kindness, compassion and tolerance. She provided an unwavering moral and spiritual example in a society which increasingly needs one. She was goodness personified.

 

Intolerance diminishes us. As many in positions of power seek to create divisions, Her Majesty sought always to encourage us to live graciously. She was a wonderful reminder to us all that we might be happier and live more peacefully were we to be supportive of all. Whatever her judgements, she never gave them public voice.

 

Her loss will be very greatly felt.

International Women’s Day celebrates the cultural, economic, social and political achievements of women. As a business, our staff, including our freelance colleagues, are 73% women. Seven of our eleven female colleagues are working mums. And amongst the amazing people who manufacture our clothes there is a similarly positive story of equality in our workplaces. 43% of the manufacturing staff at our UK partner factories are women. We recognise equality in ability and reflect this through equality in pay.

It’s British Pie Week next week. Which in our office means one thing: serious debate.Steak & ale versus pork pie. North v South.

2025 was a year of some pretty amazing numbers for Community Clothing, but there are two that mean more than all the others.  Read Patrick's New Year Impact Update
