Hitchin based business, The Puppet Company has recently teamed up with The Brain Tumour Charity to welcome a brand-new character into its ECO Sockette collection.

Introducing Hope, a truly special Sockette puppet designed to bring courage and smiles, while supporting a vital cause.

Launching into the best-selling ECO Sockettes range, the brand-new design is bursting with the charity's vibrant shades of turquoise blue, red and white, ready to bring some magic to playtime and lift the spirits of those that need it most. Hope is more than a puppet - it's a symbol of love, kindness, support, resilience the power of community, and most importantly, Hope that someday a cure can be found.

This brand-new puppet has a truly special place in the hearts of the family team behind The Puppet Company. Following the tragic loss of their co-founder and family member, Peter to a stage 4 glioblastoma in 2021, the family were inspired to honour his legacy with the creation of wonderful Hope, a charming puppet that will give back. For every Hope Sockette sold, £1 will be donated to The Brain Tumour Charity to help fund life-saving research and support services.

The Brain Tumour Charity is the UK's largest dedicated charity, committed to fighting brain tumours on all fronts. It funds pioneering research to increase survival and improve treatment options, as well as raising awareness of the symptoms and effects of brain tumours to bring about earlier diagnosis.
