Good morning my name is Darren and I work for Young Lives Blackpool CIC. 

As some of you may already know we have a retail site called OVTOG.org where we sell donated and also sourced Pokémon and Comic product. We do this so we can support youth in Blackpool make the changes that they they think are needed. Up till September this has meant we provided craft clubs, work opportunities, donations to a mental health charity, Gifts in Kind, free merchandise and much much more! This has all been made possible though sales as we have had zero grants for the enterprise. 

What we would ask is if you have any Pokémon, marvel or DC comics around that you do not use please donate these to us and we will even pay postage, this also helps landfill and is an easy green point. We will the either resell what we get or put little gift packages together for young children in the local hospital or hospices. Our only aim is to support youth wherever possible in the countries most socially and economically deprived area, Blackpool. We also do live shows on  Whatnot! If possible can you share this with more people. 

Our hope is to open a young lives organisation in your town too. Come on Lancashire let's show the youth we care!
