About us
Madlug was founded in 2015 by Dave Linton. A man whose only experience in the luggage industry was bags of enthusiasm. He was heartbroken when he learned that most children in care have their belongings moved in a bin bag. In that moment, Dave set out to do something about it. With £480, he started Madlug and came up with our ‘Buy one, Wear one, Help one’ approach. With every bag purchased, a pack-away travel bag goes to a child in care.

"I'm scared of owning too much in case I'm moved" Wow. Reading this article from the BBC this week shows the real things that young people are facing in the care system today. The fear of moving and the fear of where young people are moving too. It shows how quick these changes can happen. Zoe, you are incredible ❤️ https://lnkd.in/evQaSWyV #madlug #BBC #caresystemuk #unitedkingdom #makeadifference #valueworthdignity

Not a usual post! but I have just ordered a new Madlug™ bag. Not because there is anything wrong with my old one… far from it! in fact it’s the best rucksack I’ve EVER had. But because I really do believe that no child should ever carry their life in a bin bag. Bags that do good ❤️

VALUE | WORTH | DIGNITY ❤️ Three simple words that carry so much meaning. Children and young people in care can feel unappreciated, affecting their sense of value and worth. Thank you Madluggers! Your purchases have helped many children in care understand that they have huge value, huge worth and the right to be treated with dignity. Because no child should carry their life in a bin bag. #madlug #valueworthdignity #caresystem #makeadifference #madluggers #northernireland
