Mission Statement
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 merchandise, one story, one young person at a time.
Every item we sell is 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.

He has donated personal art and personal items to further our cause and has now offered his service up as our ‘Artist In Residence’, Alongside our fabulous youth artist Emme who designs for us.
Chris won’t be doing that but will be available for personal commissions and has offered to put a portion of his commission work money from this site to us!

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.
