Celebrate Purple Sock Day on the International Day of Disabled People on 3 December.
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) takes place annually on 03 December. The day was created by the UN in 1992; with the aims to promote the rights & well-being of disabled people across society & raise awareness of disability in every aspect of political, social, economic & cultural life.
To mark & celebrate this day Parallel Lifestyle with BAM Clothing have a simple aim – to engage the nation with one, effortless, single act of united solidarity – to buy & wear a pair of purple socks.
By doing this, you will help raise positive awareness of disability inclusion; whilst also helping to create a new Parallel Fund to provide grants & professional support to kick-start disability owned businesses & help disabled entrepreneurs.
50% of proceeds from the sale of purple socks will provide grants, professional advice, mentoring, networking opportunities, business education and tailored business support to D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse entrepreneurs. The remaining 50% will be re-invested into growing Purple Sock Day into an annual event and other Parallel social enterprise projects.
