Current FTCT corporate partnerships and support In March 2019 Linen Connect announced a charity partnership with FTCT. Linen Connect is a key supplier of linens and textiles into commercial laundries, hospitality and institutional sectors around the UK and is deeply committed to social, ethical and environmental responsibility. In late 2018, the two founders of Sitting On A Sofa decided they wanted to give something back to the fashion and textiles industry, so they decided to collaborate with FTCT. Every time you purchase an item with Sitting of a Sofa, they donate £5 of the profit to FTCT.
