“The BOBS from Skechers program has been a great success in
North America, helping more than 1.5 million animals – and now,
with the charitable component in the UK through our partnership
with Woodgreen, we think we can make a substantial impact in the
lives of animals in need,” said Peter Youell, managing director of
Skechers UK & Ireland. “BOBS from Skechers has grown into a
well-recognised brand, with hugely popular styles that resonate
with consumers and animal lovers across our market. For consumers,
it’s an easy-to-understand message: for every purchase of specially
marked BOBS from Skechers footwear, apparel and accessories, you
can make a difference. Look good, feel good—you can’t beat
that.”
For every sale of specially marked BOBS from Skechers in the UK,
Skechers will donate 25p to Woodgreen. This is expected to raise
vital funds enabling Woodgreen to provide safe shelter, specialist
care and a brighter future for thousands of dogs, cats and small
pets—as well as help owners in need with services such as free
advice from the charity’s pet experts, events, workshops, and
outreach support in local communities. The new partnership also
includes promoting pet adoptions and raising funds in Skechers
stores.
Clive Byles, chief executive of Woodgreen, added, “All of us
here at Woodgreen are very excited to share our new partnership,
and by working together we’ll make a bigger difference for pets and
their owners in need. We all love the designs and patterns in the
BOBS range, but what we love even more is what the range stands
for. Pets play an important part in all of our lives, and this is a
fabulous opportunity to help give them the lives they deserve.”
Since 2015, Skechers has donated over US $8 million to save and
support over 1.5 million animals through sales of BOBS from
Skechers footwear, apparel, and accessories. In the United Kingdom,
the collection is available at www.Skechers.co.uk, Skechers stores
and key retailers. To learn more, follow Skechers on Facebook,

About Woodgreen
Every year, Woodgreen’s dedicated teams work tirelessly to
provide safe shelter, specialist care, and a brighter future for
thousands of dogs, cats and small pets. Ever since we first opened
our doors in north London in 1924, we’ve been transforming pets’
lives – and through them, the lives of their owners. Many of the
pets who arrive at Woodgreen’s gates have been abandoned and
neglected, leaving them with serious medical conditions and complex
behavioural issues. Others simply need a new home because their
owners can’t keep them any longer. Whatever the reason for a pet
coming to us, we don’t turn them away. And we never judge anyone
for giving up their pet or turning to us for support. Our priority
is to help every animal and provide the care and rehabilitation
they need – and a second chance at happiness.

cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute
to such differences include the disruption of business and
operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic; delays or disruptions in
our supply chain; international economic, political and market
conditions including the challenging consumer retail markets in the
United States and the impact of Russia’s recent invasion of
Ukraine; sustaining, managing and forecasting costs and proper
inventory levels; losing any significant customers; decreased
