Glove Love
Green Thing is a not-for-profit charity established to encourage people to lead greener lives. All profits go to the Green Thing Trust.
In their mission to cut down on waste they have come up with the intriguing idea of Glove Love. This requires lost, lonely, single gloves that have lost their partners, but are still looking for companionship. Gloves are sent in, washed, named and matched up with a new mate.
These ‘new couples’ are then sold for £5 (plus VAT and postage), sent to their owners with new identities and a love letter, hopefully to live happily ever after. Green Thing then ask the new owner to upload a picture of themselves wearing the gloves so that they can prove to the original owners that their gloves did indeed find true love.
The Ambassadors Theatre, First Group, The Natural History Museum and an increasing number of super models such as Lauren Budd support and donate to the charity, but obviously gloves are welcome from everywhere and anywhere.
