Story
Our dedication
to traditional family values like quality, ethical retailing and excellent
service doesn’t stop with our product selection. Our Charities programme
represents our commitment to give something back to the people who live and
work where we do and we’ve joined forces with two brilliant charities to help
us do just that. From helping to connect young people who have been affected by
cancer with the support they need, to supporting local emergency services,
these partnerships give us the chance to make a contribution where it really
counts.
Broxbourne based charity Teens Unite Fighting Cancer is dedicated to improving
the lives of young people aged 13-24, with cancer and other life limiting
illnesses. The charity runs regular fun days out such as concerts, football
matches, and art and beauty workshops. Teens Unite provides ongoing long term
support for teens whether they are undergoing treatment or in remission. The
charity has also recently opened the first specialist respite care centre for
young people aged 13-24 in the UK. Their 'home with a heart' is a sanctuary
where teens can stay overnight and benefit from an escape from their home and
hospital environments. Alongside regular fun days out, Teens Unite also
provides many opportunities for teens to gain valuable life and career skills.
From internships, to fundraising schemes, to teen organised and run events -
they are there to support teens throughout their journey and to help get them
to have the confidence to go forward and achieve their goals.
