Our Merchandise
Our merchandise is more than something lovely to buy. Every product has been created collectively by Uppertunity members, staff, volunteers and our wider community.
Different people have contributed ideas, artwork, recipes, skills and practical work, with all the individual pieces brought together to create something special. Each product celebrates the creativity, perspectives and talents of our members. By purchasing something from our range, you are also helping Uppertunity provide social activities, events, learning experiences and new opportunities for the people we support.

Power of Diversity T-shirts - £15
As part of our Power of Diversity project, we looked at what supports places to embrace diversity. Together, we developed key statements that reflect the group’s ideas, experiences and values. These statements have now been turned into a limited collection of T-shirts. We print these ourselves at Uppertunity using our Cricut machine. These T-shirts are available in limited quantities from our current stock and cannot be pre-ordered, so each one is a little bit special.
Proud to Be Me T-shirts — £15
Our Proud to Be Me range celebrates identity, diversity and belonging. Members created lots of individual pieces of artwork, which were then brought together to form two large collaborative designs: one featuring colourful flowers and another featuring a collection of fantasy characters. The original artworks were approximately A2 in size before being digitised and combined with our Proud to Be Me message. T-shirts are printed locally by Lee’s Tees and can be ordered in:
- Flowers or fantasy character designs
- Pink, yellow, blue or white
- Small, medium, large, XL and XXL
Proud to Be Me Tote Bags — £4
Carry a little colour and a positive message wherever you go! Our reusable tote bags feature the collaborative flower artwork from our Proud to Be Me range, alongside the Uppertunity logo. The design is printed onto recycled cotton bags, making them a practical and more sustainable choice.
Pass on the Love Postcards — £1
Our members created three colourful postcard designs using mixed-media and recycled materials to make rainbows. The postcards were created to help spread kindness, connection and a little more love throughout our communities. Buy a postcard for £1 and write a kind message to someone else. A few thoughtful words can make a bigger difference than we sometimes realise. Your message might be exactly what someone needs today.
