BIG Merch is Live!<\/h1>\n\n

Many of us have known for a while that it is BIG and it is clever.<\/em><\/strong> It is now also cool.<\/p>\n\n

The BIG Shop platform is live! We have already uploaded a few trial products for purchase e.g. mugs, t-shirts, stickers & bags (25% introductory discount until 1st<\/sup> June<\/strong>). Many more BIG products are expected to be uploaded and available for purchase by the end of June.<\/p>\n\n

Why have we done this? Well, we’re not starting a fashion house or lifestyle brand line. The BIG CIC is a not-for-profit, community interest company that exists because of volunteers who want to collaborate on making the connection of strategy to delivery better. You can read about us<\/a><\/u><\/strong> here. We are constantly working on content for the Body of Knowledge and trying to share and further develop what we’ve done to date.<\/p>\n\n\n

To do this – we need cash to fund the website and pay our very basic bills, but ewe would also like to manage our membership better, professionally proof-read our materials, and promote our exams. Among other things.<\/p>\n\n

So our ‘Merch’ provides a way for you to support us, help with our publicity, and get some cool stuff.<\/p>\n\n

For those supporting our launch – remember – that lovely pale blue shirt you buy is also helping to motivate the volunteers that support BIG for free \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n

Please have a look and by something – or just donate<\/span><\/strong><\/a> – appreciated either way!<\/p>\n
