Social distancing T-shirts raise funds for hospitals


Gripple T-shirts, printed with four comical messages which put a Gripple ‘twist’ on traditional Yorkshire expressions, initially to drive home the social distancing message to staff, and then sold online, have raised £1,818 for local NHS hospitals. As the T-shirts’ impressive reputation spread wildly,


more than 260 have been sold – with ‘Oi! Tha’s close enough’ attracting the most interest – including one order of more than £1,000 from another employee- owned company in Manchester. All the profits from the sales are to go to the NHS. At the start this was an internal exercise, and not for


charity. However, the fantastic response to the t-shirts on the Gripple social media channels led to making them available to buy online in aid of the NHS.
