Young Lives Blackpool (CIC)
OVTOG was born from a simple truth: Blackpool has incredible young people with amazing potential, but too many face challenges that shouldn't define their future.
With over 10,000 families living in poverty in our town, we knew we had to do something different. Instead of just talking about change, we decided to create it - one piece of clothing, one story, one young person at a time.
Every piece of clothing we sell isn't just fashion - it's a statement that every young person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. That's why 100% of our profits go directly into youth-led initiatives.
The good stuff!!

Jessica Jones
“ I’m Jess, graphic designer, digital creator, and all round creative behind Present Posters in Blackpool. I specialise in expressive graphics and full brand identities, from logos and colour palettes to social media templates, brand assets, and print support.
My work is rooted in accessibility, storytelling, and community. I’ve helped small businesses develop their first brand identity, supported community cafés and grassroots projects with design that boosts their visibility, and created artwork that’s been showcased and sold across Blackpool. I also produce digital content and resources that people use to grow their own creative ideas.
Alongside my design work, I host Friday Collective — a weekly meetup focused on creativity, connection, and making everyone feel welcome.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple aim: to uplift others, share meaningful design, and create spaces where creativity feels open to everyone."

February has seen us donate to a local youth partnership group, and March will see us donating to another youth group in Blackpool
All are donations are by our youth cohort. They see the value in what others are trying to achieve and wanted to help.

We take our community work seriously… Well. As seriously as two comic performers ever could. We love making bold, creative work with and for communities — especially young people — helping them find their voice, tell their stories, and discover what they’re capable of.es here
OUR SUPPORTERS
Phoenix Auctions loves what we do and got in touch to ask if they could support us through their Phoenix Foundation. Of course we said yes and they have continued to support us since. Phoenix is one of the UK’S premiere Comic book and art auction houses. Here is what they have to say
At Phoenix Auctions, success means more than profits—it means staying true to our values.
That’s why we created the Phoenix Foundation, a growing fund dedicated to supporting our community and worthy causes.
At Phoenix Auctions, we believe in the power of community and giving back. Our mission is to combine the excitement of an auction with meaningful charitable causes, supporting both large established charities and targeting local community needs through our Forum.
Rich Watkin and the all involved at Digital Comics have supported us from day one. Offering advice as well as designs. Rich along with Matt from Phoenix Auctions and Liam from Redsters Comics are the the three made men involved in the Collector Cartel which is a group of likeminded individuals that share their love and knowledge of comics as well as a multi level subscription offer, each with something amazing to offer for any pocket from Foot Soldier to King Pin.
Check out Collector Cartel and Redsters Comics below and mention ‘Darren’ if you join the Cartel as it helps us show some love back to the guys who have supported us.
