what we do

We love Blackpool, its in our bones (well ectoplasm in this case) but it has problems. Over 10000 families are living in poverty in the town. We are here to make the lives of the young people of the town a little easier. By hearing them, including them and supporting them to thrive.

OVTOG.org, or "Only Visible To Other Ghosts," is a Blackpool-based initiative that merges fashion with social impact. Founded by Young Lives Blackpool (CIC), it offers limited-edition apparel and accessories designed by youth. With all profits directed towards youth-led projects in the region. The youth also get to direct where the money is spent too!

The platform also provides a creative outlet for young designers (under 25), allowing them to showcase and monetize their talents for absolutely nothing in our ‘Creatives Corner’. We want our young people to shine and people to see them as we do.

Will you join us?
