Who are Human Collective?

Who are Human Collective

We are a collection of individuals who believe in spreading a message of equality and supporting social inclusion. We design Irish Urban Leisure clothing that’s environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive to achieve this. We want people to be comfortable wearing what they believe, so our line of jumpers made with organic cotton and recycled polyester features an equal “=” symbol on every jumper to show your support for racial, LGBTQI+ and opportunity equality. Plus we donate €3 of every jumper to our three charity partners, Sports Against Racism Ireland, LGBT Ireland and The Irish Youth Foundation to support their work tackling inequality, and work with our partners to run workshops and raise awareness of social issues.

LGBT

LGBT CEO Paula Fagan “LGBT Ireland supports inclusion and equality for everyone. We are delighted to be a partner on this fantastic project that is promoting equality through innovative and accessible initiatives.”

The donation of €1 from each jumper sold will fund 50 minutes of Helpline support for members of the LGBTI+ Community. Your donation makes it possible for LGBT Ireland key workers to offer a vital lifeline to many vulnerable members of the LGBTI+ community, particularly those who face additional marginalisation and discrimination, such as older members of our community, LGBTI+ people seeking International Protection here in Ireland, and LGBTI+ members of the Travelling Community. Members of the LGBTI+ community are more likely to suffer with mental health issues such as severe stress, anxiety, depression and have high levels of self-harm, thanks to your support, LGBT Ireland can continue to offer confidential, non-judgemental support 7 days a week.

Irish Youth Foundation

Speaking about the launch of their partnership Chief Executive of The Irish Youth Foundation, Lucy Masterson said: “When people choose the Human Collective brand, they join a collective of like-minded individuals who are committed to levelling the playing field for children and young people born into disadvantage.

The Irish Youth Foundation is a registered charity and the only grant making foundation in the Republic of Ireland dedicated solely to meeting the needs of children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. They do this by supporting a wide range of outstanding projects and organisations across the country and by working closely with Ireland’s dedicated youth workers and project leaders to help give Ireland’s underrepresented young people the tools needed to reach their full potential in life. The €1 donated from each jumper sale supplies a child in need with a hot meal.
