Wild Thang are incredibly proud to have supported and sponsored this incredible event by providing all design and branded marketing collateral required for the John Haynes foundation and gala dinner. The John Haynes Tribute dinner and legacy foundation launch took place at the Liverpool Hilton Hotel on the 18th of September.

The Gala Dinner dressed to impress at the Liverpool Hilton Hotel. 

Hosted by Roger Jonas with speeches by Everton FC CEO. Denise Barrett Baxendale and Liverpool Metro Mayor Steven Rotheram, with a special menu created by Paul Askew and the Hilton team.The evening raised over £30,000 which will see funds officially establish the foundation for the longer term and develop the programs that will help others to be the best versions of themselves and truly ‘Fly With The Eagles’.

The late great John Haynes who helped so many 'Fly With The Eagles'.

It was a truly spectacular night and very special moment for the Wild Thang team to celebrate the life of a friend and master mentor coach John Haynes but also maybe more importantly his legacy. Before his passing for nearly a decade John had become an integral part of our company family helping Wild Thang and all our employees better themselves on a personal and professional level.

The host with the most Roger Jonas.

Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang MD commented: “John Haynes was a true mentor and friend to both me and the rest of the Wild Thang team for many years and made a huge difference in the team and companies culture. John was a very special individual and wanted to make a difference in the lives of whoever he met. Whatever the subject or session about leadership or resilience you would come out it feeling 100% more positive and wanting to take on the world.

John Haynes partner Linda Adkins who gave her support and blessing for the foundation to be formed.   

This is why it felt so important and right to help and support both the formation of the John Haynes Foundation by becoming a trustee, but in a wider way by making sure Wild Thang as a company supported the foundation from a branding and marketing perspective, our team of directors felt this was only right to give back a little piece of what John has given us. From the outset we offered Wild Thangs support to provide all the collateral for the foundation and gala dinner which we are proud of delivering.

All the event collateral and merchandise was lovingly designed and printed by Wild Thang. 

At each stage we gained approval throughout the design process from John’s partner Linda, the family and the rest of the trustees, we think we have achieved something genuinely world class from design to production, hopefully the photographs of the evening tell the story of a spectacular and successful night that surpassed everyone’s expectations.

All the event collateral and merchandise was lovingly designed and printed by Wild Thang. 

A huge thank you from Linda and family, patrons and trustees to everyone who attended, donated and supported the John Haynes Foundation launch, you truly are all eagles. John is gone but never forgotten, his legacy will live on with its aim of inspiring and helping 1 million people to have the resilience and belief to ‘Fly With The Eagles’.

Well done to all the staff that got involved and supported our go green for The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity day.

The whole team had great fun in a completely covid secure environment enjoying a selection of goodies in our kitchen mess area dressed in green of course for staff to enjoy and make a donation, we also printed dual branded T-shirt’s for staff to purchase and wear for the day, with all proceeds going to the guys at Clatterbridge.

Charities have been hit as hard as any business so continue to need our support now more than ever with every little donation making a difference, we feel really proud of the teams fundraising efforts by donating £300 - it really is the Wild Thang Way!

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is one of the largest networked cancer centers in the UK.

It is so important to us that we can do this for our patients, at our centers in Liverpool, Wirral and Aintree along with our network of chemotherapy clinics in hospitals across the region, and it is something that we certainly aim to bring to our new hospital in the heart of Liverpool.

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS heroes know They’ll Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt over the past few weeks.

Just so you know the impact you have been making by purchasing a t-shirt we have put together an info graphic, which was designed by our very talented studio.

We have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback with lots of people posting photo’s which really has made us feel incredibly proud as a team, and really makes us feel that our efforts to make a difference are worthwhile. Sharing our message across social media was the real aim and that has been achieved with tens of thousands of social media interactions.

As you know our first order to be dispatched was a very special delivery to 100-year-old Captain Tom Moore as a birthday treat, what an incredible hero that has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

We have even had a few high profile t-shirt purchases, from the amazing comedian Johnny Vegas, who has been on tour around the hospitals in the North West giving his time up selflessly for those NHS Heroes, and many thanks to the very talented Celebrity Chef from Sunday Brunch on Channel 4, Simon Rimmer.

But the highlight for the week was from Ellie Orton, CEO of NHS Charities Together who commented “Well done for all the support you are giving to NHS charities this is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us, we really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your support to NHSCT and our members. I love the videos and selfies they are great.”

We have had orders from across the UK and Internationally so we’re happy to report we have sold over 370 t-shirt’s over the past few weeks.

Don’t forget every t-shirt purchased we are donating 50% to NHS Charities or a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus, to let those heroes get the message loud and clear, whilst also importantly promoting social distancing.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say - ‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’.

Together we can all make a difference T-shirts still available over on the Wild Thang Shop

What a fantastic week one!

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS Heroes Know They Will Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt this past week.

The first orders for our t-shirts have been delivered over the past week and we have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback.

Lots of people have been posting photo’s which has got us all a bit emotional at Wild Thang & really makes us feel our efforts are worthwhile & are making a difference. More amazing images to follow and thank you so much to everyone who is supporting and letting those NHS Heroes know they Will Never Walk Alone #NHSwillneverwalkalone

Our first order to be dispatched as a very special delivery was of course heading to 99-year-old Captain Tom Moore, who has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

We have had orders from around the UK but also got our first international order which is heading over to Sweden. Happy to report that positive momentum seems to be building, having sold just under over 200 t-shirt’s in the first 7 days which is a great start.

Hopefully this is just the start so it’s critical for everyone to continue spreading the word that our NHS Heroes will never walk alone.

Remember Wild Thang wanted to make a difference to help let them heroes know they will never walk alone whilst also promoting social distancing.

For every t-shirt purchased we will donate 50% to NHS Charities Charity No 1186569 OR a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed down considerably since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say -

‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’

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.”
