There are currently more than 108,000 young people in the UK's care system
A social enterprise from Co Armagh has teamed up with department store John Lewis to help support young people in care.
Madlug's concept of Make a Difference Luggage caught the eye of the retail giant, and the two have now paired up so the Armagh company is now able to sell its range of backpacks and shoulder bags in-store and online. "Madlug was founded in 2015 with the aim of tackling this issue and championing children in care by reminding them of their value, worth and dignity. The pack-away bags we donate are unbranded to avoid stigma and can be folded neatly into a sock drawer or a Social Worker’s car boot without wasting storage space.
"We are so grateful to have the opportunity to sell our products through John Lewis online and in selected stores, and for everyone who has supported us thus far because through choosing Madlug you are choosing to improve the life of a young person in care.
