The company is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC), where the community are those individuals who are Homeless or Sleeping Rough in the UK for some unfortunate reason, not necessary of their own doing. We decided on a CIC as it allows us to take donations, grants, as well as being able to sell products. 
Based on that we have created a range of own brand garments that we sell to those who enjoy our great outdoors e.g. wild swimmers, campers, event goers, cyclists, hill walkers, dog walkers, etc, and reinvest the net profits from the sales of these garments for the manufacture and distribution of our Sleeping Coat …… completely free of charge ….. to those Sleeping Rough on our streets, parks or wherever they can find somewhere to lay their head. 

All of The Ootsiders garments are manufactured solely in Scotland as we focus on working towards Net-Zero Omissions, and the Circular Economy helping our environment, and as our business grows hopefully creating jobs.

In summary, We exist to keep people warm and dry no matter their circumstances, situation or status. We do this by re-investing the profits from the sale of the products you purchase to donate our Sleeping Coats to Homeless individuals for free …… We also happen to make great Changing Robes
