Wild Thang supports Strawberry Field Mount Toubkal Trek
Wild Thang supports Strawberry Field Mount Toubkal Trek

Wild Thang are very proud to announce our support towards the iconic site, Strawberry Field.

The tourist attraction is owned by the Salvation Army, which they use the profits from the visitor experience to keep the gates open permanently and to support Steps at Strawberry Field, a set of initiatives for people with disabilities or other employment challenges. Of course, this is such a fantastic cause, and we are very happy that we can help.

STRAWBERRY FIELD

In September 2019, Strawberry Field, the famous location immortalised by John Lennon in the Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever," first welcomed visitors via its recognisable red gates.

Through their exhibition, you can learn about the history of the iconic site; including stories from the former children’s home and about how John came to write the famous song. The site now serves a unique addition to Beatles tourism.

The site holds an interactive visitor exhibition, a café, a shop, and quiet garden places for spiritual reflection.

Entry to the cafe, shop and gardens is free. If you would like to purchase tickets to their visitor experience, they can be booked in advance by following the link at the bottom of our page.

THE WORK OF STRAWBERRY FIELD

The site is home to Steps to Work programme for young adults with learning challenges and other hurdles to employment.

All proceeds from the exhibition, café and shop go towards supporting the Steps at Strawberry Field programmes, which cater to those who face obstacles to employment such as learning disabilities. There is more information if you follow the link at the bottom of the page.

WILD THANG SUPPORTS STRAWBERRY FIELD MOUNT TOUBKAL TREK

We are proud to announce that we will be donating branded hoodies for their Mount Toubkal Trek on the 3rd – 7th August 2022 free of charge. Lesley from Strawberry Field came for the full Wild Thang tour and we were able to hear about all the amazing work Strawberry Field do. Lesley had actually been completing her regular training in line for the trek taking place in August that morning, this team means business!

They are aiming to raise £2500 each for the Strawberry Field’s Step to Work Programme.

It costs £10,000 for one trainee to go through the Steps to Work programme; and with all of your support, the fantastic team at Strawberry Field can continue the work they do to help more and more people achieve their dreams of paid employment.

MOUNT TOUBKAL

This once in a lifetime adventure will allow the trekkers to take on the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and summit its highest peak - Mount Toubkal.

All of us at Wild Thang wish the team good luck on their fundraising and the trek they will be completing in August.

Pride parades are back for 2022!

What an exciting time for this year’s Pride celebrations this June! We are post-covid and can finally celebrate restriction-free across the UK and around the world! This year marks a special date, as it is the 50th anniversary of the first Pride march in the UK in 1972.

We use the month of June to honour the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, that changed gay rights for many people not only just in America but also worldwide! It is a moment to reflect on the progress made towards equality but also to remember those who fought for LGBTQ+ communities rights and acknowledge the progress to continue.

This year we will see, the famous Pride parades and celebrations back throughout June but also throughout the year. It is an opportunity to bring people together by celebrating diversity, freedom and inclusivity.

Wild Thang are proud to have produced & sponsored the t-shirts in partnership with one of our amazing clients - Hat Scarf Or A Badge - to support 'An Hour For Others Charity' which raised around £14k in the process.

They are a charity with a big heart  and believe Together We Are Strong and are doing great things in the community & promoting that every single one of us is part of the community and has a responsibility in making it the best it can be.

Many of us also have a particular skill or talent that can help improve somebody else's life. Kindness, compassion, respect and belief costs nothing.  As busy as life is we can all find some time each week or month to help build our community and inspire others to get involved.  The smallest compliment and act of kindness can transform somebody's world. A community should always support it's most vulnerable and work together to help it thrive. 

Talking of big hearts, it was great to see Jamie Carragher and his foundation - The Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation - getting behind and supporting this fantastic event. I know a lot of people gave up their time to participate and support which is what it was all about with a great finale at Anfield venue Taggy's Bar, the venue created a real positive post party atmosphere.

After the difficult year everyone has had due to Covid its fantastic to see there is still real appetite to make a difference, this is an example of some awesome businesses and people making a difference, as the Beatles once sang “the love you take should be equal to the love you make“

Wild Thang proud to donate warm clothing to the homeless as temperatures fall.

Andrew Dwerryhouse, MD at Wild Thang commented: “Wild Thang are proud to have made this donation and are sure every little counts, It’s this time of year that our thoughts turn to those most in need when the weather takes a turn for the worse for vulnerable homeless people, especially when having to deal with freezing temperatures. That’s exactly why we donated a sizable amount of clothing including jackets, hoodies and hats to the Cotton Street Homeless Project and Whitechapel Homeless Centre which will hopefully keep a number of people safe and warm this winter. As part of the companies charitable fundraising the staff Christmas Jumper day held prior to the festive break raised over £200 which will be split between these two great organisations. We encourage others to get involved as the more people/companies/organisations involved in trying to make an impact the better the outcome will be, which is ultimately all focused on trying to eradicate homelessness in the Liverpool City Region for good.”
