Our badges - because we always wanted some

There's something great about having your own team badge, or being awarded one for achieving whatever it is you've been working towards.

Lucie from Paper Aeroplane designed them for us. She also created our logo way back in 2013. We're planning to start a whole collection, and to kick off we had three, in an edition of 1000 each, then added the second trio. They're made in Huddersfield in top quality hard enamel, with a brooch pin at the back.

• Rose: Kindness
• Blood Orange: Audacity
• Mint: Mint
• Violet: Mustn't grumble
• Sunshine: Hope (our fundraiser for Hope Not Hate. We send £3 per badge)
• Rosemary: Resilience 

About that mint. It's northern. The nephews use the word to mean excellent, and this was Nick's choice. It's probably best described as British humour, and it makes us smile. We all need a few extra smiles around about now.

We've been wearing the rose for kindness, not because we think we've earned it, but to remind us to try a bit harder. The same goes with audacity, although that's more about keeping it in check.

Right now, Resilience and Mustn't Grumble are topping the list.
