How many bags have been donated?

To date 25000 bags have been donated with a further 20,000 in production and they will be fully distributed over the summer of 2021.

What bag do the children get?

The bag itself is unbranded to avoid stigma. It folds away to fit neatly into a sock drawer or a Social Worker’s car boot without wasting storage space. And each bag has a label that says “You are incredible” to remind every child that they have value, worth and dignity. 

How do you give the donated bags?

In 2020 alone, we donated over 11,000 pack away bags across the UK and Ireland. These go to social workers in local authorities and foster carers, as well as directly to young people and their families.

How do you decide where the bags go?

Bags are donated at our own discretion according to where there is a need for them. We partner with various local authorities largely across the UK and Ireland, seeking out new partnerships through word of mouth.

100% Committed to our cause.

We're a certified social enterprise registered as a "Community Interest Company". This means that you can be assured that 100% of our profits and assets are locked to benefit children in care.

Can I return or exchange my bag?  

You have 14 days to return or exchange your bag if you change your mind.  All products must be tagged and in their original packaging.  You also need to enclose your shipping order. If you are returning your bag and looking for a refund please note on it your reason for return.  Unfortunately, Madlug cannot at this stage cover the cost of postage or any loss occurred.  We, therefore, recommend using signed for postage.  

If your bag arrives faulty please email us within 24hrs and we will send you a return form for faulty goods to enable you to return it.  Faulty bags will either be repaired, replaced or exchanged to an alternative bag or gift card.  If your bag arrives with a fault or develops a fault within 30 days of receipt a refund may be offered.
