Battleshops!

Battleshops is a project set up between Lombard and Sense to raise funds to help deafblind people.

In the style of ‘The Apprentice’ our mission is to stock and successfully run the Loughborough Sense Charity Shop for the entire day on the 11th of November 2009, whist having lots of fun along the way.

The shop will be under our control throughout the day and we will have the task of competing against three other Sense Charity Shops run by our colleagues.  The winning team will be the shop that generates the most money on the day and in the weeks leading up to the event.

The day in the shop will be the culmination of a number of weeks work in which we will generate stock with zero budget and through a number of smaller fund raising events get a head start on the fund raising process.

This website has been set up for anyone wishing to assist us and raise funds to help the fantastic work that Sense does.  If you would like to find out more about Sense then please visit the following link www.sense.org.uk.

Many thanks

Lombard Nottinghamshire, Derby and Staffordshire
