I've been meaning to write a blog for a while so what better reason to start than to announce my new 'round up' offering at checkout! I've been looking for a way to support a charity even in the early days of the business so from now on, customers of DubStyling will be able to round up their purchase to the nearest £ or add a simple £1 donation to their order. I don't expect to generate massive amounts but it's a step in the right direction and a simple way to show my support for a wonderful charity, Mind.
As those who own a VW will likely agree, there is a (mostly) lovely community spirit about owning a VW, especially campervans and older Volkswagens. It's incredible how adults with a motorised vehicle in common can build friendships off the back of it but that's what I'm witnessing.
Perhaps its slightly different when you own a campervan because, lets face it, we dont look our best on a campsite first thing in the morning, pre-coffee, when we're dragging the dog out to do his business. Perhaps its seeing other caffeine deprived people attempting the same that creates a certain camaraderie? :-P
Either way, the VW community spirit can create a lovely environment whether its a day out at a show of original Golfs, Bugs and more or a camping festival for Dubs. Getting out and about amongst people with common interests is great for our mental health so it seemed a natural choice to select Mind for donations.
There is more that unites us than divides us so next time you see me trying to subtly mutter 'wee wees' at the dog at some ungodly hour on a campsite somewhere, just give me a smile or better still, hand me a large latte!
