By Emma MaierSo many of you have written to Take a Break to request a Thank God for Social Workers badge that they have run out of stock! However, do not fear. They have kindly arranged an alternative... read on and get yours.
Take a
Break has arranged for stickers in the same design
to be made available for 27p direct from the supplier - a worthwhile
investment, in my opinion. Simply contact: 020 8614 8880,
sales@big.co.uk or www.big.co.uk.
They have been genuinely touched by the level of interest they have had from you: I thought I'd paste their note below so that you can read for yourself:
"We have had an incredible response to our campaign, Thank God For Social Workers. We ordered 500 badges to start with and soon realised that was not enough. We ordered 3000 more and we have now sent out all of these too.
"It wouldn't be cost effective for us to charge for what is a limited run and so, with the burden of postage and packing, we unfortunately have to draw the line somewhere. Our apologies. But what it means is that the campaign still has a huge amount of mileage. We are determined to continue with it in Take a Break and anyone and everyone is welcome to use the title - Thank God For Social Workers - as they wish. And if organisations, departments or groups wish to get together they can order stickers - at 27p each - from our suppliers B.I.G on:
"020 8614 8880
sales@big.co.uk

"Again we greatly appreciate your support and for us - mere 'civilians' in social work terms - it has been a very pleasant surprise to experience the backing given by many ordinary people who agree with us that tabloid coverage is terribly skewed. We hope that, with your help, we will continue to see the campaign grow and grow and for the dedication and commitment of social workers to be properly recognised.
