Tracey Samuel runs bonniemob, a Brighton-based family business that designs and sells kids clothes around the world. Upset at the plight of the refugees in 2016 and keen to do something she decided to help Refugee Support by doing what she does best – designing and selling clothes.
Working with Selfish Mother, she created a charity collection that has raised almost £10,000 for refugees! (There are still some available and they make great gifts…). bonniemob is now working on another range for the end of 2018 where £10 or £20 from each item goes to supporting refugees.
This is a great story of how anyone can help refugees, just trying to do something can grow into something big and how everyone can benefit: the business, customers and the charity. What can you do to help?
