World Children's Day: 5 Facts You Need to Know About the Care System
On World Children’s Day we celebrate the rights and wellbeing of children around the world. But for children in the care system, their journeys can be much harder. While many of us take for granted the stability and support in our lives, children in care face unique challenges that deserve our attention and action.
Here are five key facts about the care system to consider this Children’s Day.
Our Black Friday Deal - Choose Impact Over Discounts
As the holiday season begins, we’re reminded of what matters most – kindness,
generosity, and purpose. That’s why, this year, Madlug is choosing to skip Black
Friday sales and focus on something more lasting: making a meaningful impact
on the lives of children in care. A mission that drives us every day of the year,
not just at Christmas.
At Madlug, we’re taking a different approach to Black Friday and inviting you to
‘gift with purpose’.

If you're looking for stocking fillers that also also make an impact, we've got you covered! We have affordable options for everyone, whether you’re shopping for a relative, friend, or colleague. Check out our selections under £20.
6,000 children will enter the care system this festive season
This festive season alone, an estimated 6,000 children will transition into care. Many of these children and young will have their belongings moved in bin bags, a practice that often leaves lasting effects on their self-esteem and sense of worth.
This Christmas, Madlug is calling on shoppers to help change this narrative by choosing gifts that make a difference. Every Madlug bag purchased provides a pack-away travel bag to a child in care, giving them something more than a safe way to carry their belongings—a sense of value, worth and dignity.
