Background

PwC, as a firm, are joining forces with Barnado’s to help raise the profile of the charity and the good work that they do and raise much needed funds for the 100,000 children and young people they support.  Over 20 PwC offices across the country will be taking part in a “Store Wars” competition. The aim of the event will be for the teams to take over the running of a Barnado’s store in their region on the 10 December with the aim of boosting profits and sales both on the day of the event and also beforehand.

Barnado’s Statement

Barnado’s vision is that the lives of all children and young people should be free from poverty, abuse and discrimination.  We believe in the abused, the vulnerable, the forgotten and the neglected.  We will support them, stand up for them and bring out the best in each and every child.  Barnado’s believes in children regardless of their circumstances, gender, race, disability or behaviour.  We do this because we believe that every child deserves the best start in life children can turn their lives around.  As one of the ’s leading children’s charities this is our pledge.

Store

The store is based in Fishponds, 708 Fishponds , approximately 4 miles away from the City Centre.

Unfortunately the store was recently closed down and is now incurring losses.  Therefore, our West team are undertaking the task of reopening the store for a one day ‘special’ on Thursday 10 December.  Many fantastic offers will be available.

We will also be undertaking collections at local shops and pubs on the day of the event.
