## **#WARMCLUB Annual Return - 1167062** 

Dated: 31[st] March 2022 

#WARMCLUB is a charity arm of the surfing brand ‘Nineplus’ that primarily design, produce, market and sell some of the worlds warmest wetsuits using the worlds highest grade neoprene ‘Yamamoto’ neoprene from Japan. 

We recognise that our marketing revolves around keeping people warm in the sea and therefore we developed a charity to keep the homeless warm on the streets. Since incorporating the charity in 2016 we have been working on a waterproof sleeping bag that incorporates an inflatable mattress in the base. This would enable the homeless sleeper to keep their body away from the cold concrete while also remaining dry from the elements. We would hope this then means that the mental health would improve and having a ‘good nights sleep’ would encourage the individual might seek the support they might need. 

We also operate in by designing, producing and donating clothing to the homeless people free of charge as needs arise. 

The sleeping bags are currently in design and due to release in 2023 once funding has been secured. They will cost £50 each and the aim is to use the local Church to identify and then distribute the sleeping bags while also maintaining contact with the individual. 

The reason we are using a ‘hashtag’ in the charity name is that the homeless person might use social media to alert us to their need as may homeless person carry phones. 

For the year ending 31/03/2022 the company received less than £10,000.
