Sheffield school hoodie company launches 2026 campaign to give free printed clothing to UK charities

Sheffield-based HoodieHut has launched the 2026 edition of its Hoodies for Charity campaign, offering free printed clothing to UK charities during the school summer holidays.

Running from Friday 31 July to Friday 14 August 2026, the campaign gives eligible charities the chance to apply for free printed garments to help volunteers, fundraisers and team members stand out at events, community projects and awareness campaigns.

The annual initiative is made possible by HoodieHut’s leavers hoodie orders throughout the year. As the summer holidays are naturally quieter for school leavers hoodie production, the business uses that time to give something back to charities and community organisations.

“The school summer holidays are usually a quieter period for us, so we wanted to use that time in a positive way. Hoodies for Charity lets us take the same print skills we use for schools and put them towards charities that are doing brilliant work across the UK.”

“Every leavers hoodie order helps make this possible. It is a simple idea, but it means charities can get useful branded clothing without having to spend money that could be going back into their work.”

David Cavill, Director at HoodieHut

This year’s campaign follows previous Hoodies for Charity rounds, where HoodieHut supported a range of UK charities with branded clothing for their teams.

Charities can apply via the Hoodies for Charity campaign page between Friday 31 July and Friday 14 August 2026.
