Floor Stickers for Social Distancing

by | Apr 2, 2020 | News

At Sportstiks HQ in Brentwood, Essex our core business is an essential trade business to the industry in supplying printed labels, food grade pouches and raw materials to various supply chains around the world.

As race events have been cancelled / postponed on a global scale, we at Sportstiks have had some extra time on our hands. With social distancing being a major thing in reducing the spread of coronavirus we wanted to help ensure we all “stick together by staying apart.” To assist with this we have created packs of A4 sized floor stickers to help small businesses protect their staff and customers by encouraging the safe 2m social distancing rule.

It occurred to me very soon after the guidelines on social distancing came into practice that floor stickers could be a huge benefit to shops and businesses that remain open during this pandemic. It’s crucially important to maintain the distance to protect ourselves and the members of staff working on the front line. With sports events across the world being cancelled or postponed, staff for our athlete ID brand Sportstiks have been deployed to produce the floor stickers. Staff across the whole company got involved in helping come up with slogans so it’s been a great team effort to get these produced and out there where they’re needed.

The UK sector is estimated to be facing a £4 billion loss in the next quarter as a result of the coronavirus crisis, officials have warned.

Help us raise money for SNAP and Kids Inspire so they can continue to provide to families in Essex with the support they need.

If you do make a donation please  let me know by proof of screen shot via email direct to me at Craig@sportstiks.co.uk and the delivery address the pack is to be sent to. We will process your pack and have it sent out via Royal Mail as fast as possible

Thank you to Sportstiks for their continued support that will enable us to continue with our vital work in the community during this difficult time. Kids Inspire are still fully operational, seeing 95% of our service users online,  5% of the most vulnerable individuals face to face but following all protocols. Sadly we have lost 50% of our funding due to the cancellation of all events, community and corporate activities.

As we remain operational, we can only furlough six of our business/fundraising team, therefore our costs remain constant.

Fundraising & Communications Manager, Kids Inspire

As you can imagine, this is a challenging time for us as charity, and we would welcome your support. If you can help us to come out of this unique situation ready to help future generations of families, your donations would be appreciated more than ever before.
