Huffer supports the Mental Health Foundation ahead of MHAW 2018

Huffer are continuing the conversation around mental health and suicide prevention throughout Mental Health Awareness Week, running 8th – 14th October 2018 ,with tees bearing a special message, and opening their Ponsonby doors on Friday 12th October at 7.30am for a special Coffee Friday to celebrate positive Mental Health. Watch the video here.

Part of Huffer’s brand culture is to celebrate inclusiveness and bringing people together from all walks of life, which as a result the brand has a very strong, loyal and socially-aware community. Huffer identifies with the Mental Health Foundation’s key objectives and to summarise them, came up with the phrase ‘People Presence’ which is the idea of being present to support one another, and ourselves, throughout life; something the Huffer community is in the perfect position to do.

Huffer has created a People Presence capsule range in collaboration with the Mental Health Foundation with $10 of each product sold being donated to the Foundation. Limited edition beanies and t-shirts can be purchased from a Huffer store, or online.
“Together we hope our beanie and t-shirt will not only keep your head warm (and street game strong), but also keep your soul strong too. We want to encourage people to talk about the stuff that’s tough, and wearing People Presence product is a statement of support, and starting point for conversation. By partnering with the Mental Health Foundation, we hope to help improve the well-being of the many who are suffering silently.” says Steve Dunstan, Founder.
