Clothing with Cheeky messages to raise funds for charity at an upcoming trade show

A range of clothing with cheeky slogans by the charity Papworth Trust will be available at the Autumn Fair at Birmingham’s NEC in September.

The fun pun-based Can Clothing range for adults and children have been a big hit since its launch last year, having been exhibited at the BBC Good Food Show and Gardener’s World Live where they won the backing of celebrity chefs including James Martin and Tom Kerridge and the public alike – with cheeky cooking and gardening phrases like ‘I’m ganaching my buns’ and a baby range which includes ‘Don’t mention my soggy bottom’.

The Can Clothing range is packaged in reusable cans, and proceeds from the sales will be used to provide essential care and support to older and disabled people and their families.

Annette Angell, fundraising manager at Papworth Trust, said: “We wanted to create a quirky and different way to fundraise – where donating wasn’t just about giving money.

“Instead you would be getting something you really loved, safe in the knowledge that all proceeds go to supporting disabled people in the UK.

Some 1,400 exhibitors and an estimated 29,000 visitors from the UK and overseas will be expected at the Autumn Fair in Birmingham which runs between 6-9 September.
