It's that time of year when I show off my feet to the Internet - happy #PurpleSockDay (aka International Day of Persons with a Disability).
Dark plum background with heading reads ‘What is purple sock day?’. Below text says ‘Purple Sock Day is on 3rd December 2025. It celebrates the International Day of Disabled People through a simple act of mass participation and impact…’. Below text is a photo of Patchwork Hub’s founder, Beth, holding up some purple socks and arrow signalling next slide.
Same background with text which continues ‘...buying and wearing a pair of purple socks!’ Text is surrounded by 3 cutout photos of purple socks: team jumping in the air wearing their socks, Beth and Parallel’s founder Andrew Douglass holding this year’s socks, and an adorable dog wearing the 4 previous designs on each leg.
Same background with heading reads ‘What is purple sock day?’. Below text says ‘All proceeds go to the Purple Sock Fund, managed by BASE UK, supporting disabled entrepreneurs through grants and mentoring.’ Below is a cutout photo of a group of disabled entrepreneurs and supporters holding their socks and smiling.
Final slide - same background with heading reads ‘How can I get involved?’. Below text says ‘Grab your pair of purple socks and get hashtagging #PurpleSockDay. Help raise awareness for disability inclusion with some sustainable style with impact!’ Below is a cutout photo of Beth and Isaac with their socks and a sticker ‘£7 per pair’ and Parallel and Patchwork Hub’s logo in the corner.

Wonderful start to my first day actually wearing my @parallellifestyle @wearebam #purplesockday socks: listening to Prof Ben Simmons talking about the personhood of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and seeing that the gorgeous sculpture made by someone
Love this! I'd been wondering how to 'sock-fluence' for #PurpleSockDay in honour of #IDPwD but people have been reaching out with ideas, drawings and today: in song!
