Tough Mudder Manchester 2023 · 15 July 2023 ·

Every year, 1000s of children enter, move within or leave the care system carrying their belongings in black bin bags. At the very moment they need safety, reassurance and care, they are handed something that can make them feel disposable. We exist to change that. No More Bin Bags.

Story

On any given day, there are approximately 65,000 children in foster care in the UK. Most of them are removed from their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. If they do have any personal belongings, they are often given a bin bag or carrier bag to carry them in. 

At Comfort Cases, we believe that every child deserves to feel a sense of dignity. Every child deserves to pack their belongings in a special bag that they can call their very own. Every child deserves to have a cozy new pair of pyjamas, a brand new warm blanket, and a new stuffed animal to hug during the traumatic transition into foster care. 

We are committed to engaging communities and educating the public about the issues facing youth in foster care. We believe in the importance of encouraging young people to lead by example and to take action to alleviate the suffering of children in the system. We are aiming to provide volunteer opportunities for all ages so that the entire community can truly be involved together.
