A Little Like Goes A Long Way

Many of my followers already know this (mainly because I never shut up on Twitter), but this year, I quit my full time job and started working part time to make life a little easier and blog more frequently. Since quitting the worst job in the world, I have been working for two amazing charities that help the community in an awesome way.

Along with my mum, we run two charities, Clothing Solutions and Beaneezy. Although both these organisations have been operating for quite a while, we have recently launched social accounts for them and are working really hard to re-launch the Clothing Solutions website. One social network in particular we have been putting our focus on is Facebook. Personally, I was never a big fan of Facebook, but it's proven as a really easy way for customers to be able to find our charities. Check out the Twitter pages for Clothing Solutions & Beaneezy too!

Want to know what the charities do? Well, Clothing Solutions (for Disabled People) is a registered charity that designs and alters clothing for disabled people. It's very difficult for some people with a disability to find clothing that fits them just right, or clothing that they can wear and put on by themselves, allowing them more fashion freedom. Clothing Solutions also designs bespoke accessories such as bibs, hats and even slippers to suit everyone's needs. Using a unique computer system, our customers are able to have their very own design and finally wear any piece of clothing they choose. Many of our happy customers wouldn't having the correct fitting or comfortable clothing if Clothing Solutions wasn't able to create and adapt for them!

Beaneezy began as a group of beanbags within Clothing Solutions, and slowly grew into its own charity. Beaneezy has a line of beanbag products available for an amazing price, but can also create unique and bespoke beanbags and cushions to suit the needs of all our customers. Recently, Beaneezy just completed an enormous order of our most popular beanbag, the Large V Arm Support for some of the biggest organisations in the country, including NHS, British Red Cross and MacMillan Caring Locally. Beaneezy is also able to produce memory foam cushions for our customers, out of some our cosiest fabrics. Beaneezy has also become immensely popular for athletes, children and new and feeding mothers too! 

Clothing Solutions and Beaneezy both have Facebook and Twitter pages which really need the support of more people. We don't receive government funding, so it's very important to us that we can spread the word through social media and keep our work alive. We rely solely on the donations of our lovely customers and wonderful funders, but aim to get our Facebook pages to at least 100 likes... and we're halfway there! With more likes, the pages are able to show up in search results and customers can find out details easier. The charities are not just for disabled people, children and elderly people love our products too! 

So, if you have the time, pretty (pretty) please could you pop over to the pages and hit the little like button? And feel free to invite others, the more the merrier! We have plenty of photos and information on social media, which is updated regularly!
