Description
A bold and energetic vintage charity badge from the Kent Hop Cops series, still attached to its original printed card. This design features the hop‑character riding a motorbike — one of the most dynamic and action‑styled variants in the set. Produced as part of a local fundraising initiative, each badge in the series supported Kent‑based charities and was sold as one of several designs to collect.
The original card accompanies the pin, complete with the familiar fundraising wording and confirmation that it is “one in a series to collect”. A lively and distinctive piece of regional nostalgia, ideal for collectors of British charity pins, hop‑themed items, or Kent heritage memorabilia.
Action‑Themed Designs in Local Fundraising Badges
The Kent Hop Cops series reflects the creativity of small community fundraising projects that became popular across the UK from the 1980s onward. These badges were typically produced in modest quantities and sold at fairs, fêtes, and charity stalls, often featuring mascots tied to local culture.
Kent’s hop‑growing heritage inspired this colourful cast of hop‑characters, with some designs — such as this motorbike‑riding variant — adding extra personality and movement. Examples that remain on their original cards offer both provenance and display appeal, making them increasingly collectible today.
