Out of 1.5 million UK adults with learning disabilities, only 5.1% have meaningful paid employment!!!
At Stand Out, we passionately believe in investing in those society overlooks.
We provide paid employment opportunities for individuals with learning disabilities, and use our eccentric socks to ignite essential conversations around inclusion.
We’re not just in the sock business - we’re in the business of making a difference.
Our founder Ross ''The Boss''
Stand Out Socks was inspired by our co-founder Ross, a remarkable man with Down Syndrome who isn’t afraid to STAND OUT in a crowd.
Like many people with learning disabilities, Ross faced significant hurdles in finding employment after leaving school.
After years of frustration and rejection, Stand Out Socks was founded to offer him a fulfilling and meaningful job.
The positive impact of having this opportunity was profound for Ross, and as Stand Out Socks has grown we have been able to extend job opportunities to others with learning disabilities.
