6 MONTHS SINCE WE OPENED OUR OUTLET STORE

We are celebrating 6 months since our outlet store opened at Grosvenor Shopping Northampton

Grateful to the Grosvenor Shopping Team and Evolve Estates for their continued support, allowing our charity to stand alongside household brands in the centre. This opportunity has helped us not only raise funds but also spread awareness about our work to support adults diagnosed with cancer entering the hospital setting.

During this time, we are proud to partner with incredible businesses like Stephensons Online, Avon, Mannol UK, Vikki's Kitchen, and more, donating surplus stock. A big shoutout also to West Northamptonshire Social Enterprise Towns CIC (WNSET CIC) for their crucial funding that got us off the ground!

The outlet shop has become a sustainable income source for our charity, helping to fund the work we do. It has also created opportunities for work placements, volunteer roles, and brought our supporters into the town centre.

Thank you to everyone supporting us!

Huge thank you to one of key Corporate Supporters Barry and Katy Tong, Stephensons Online for inspiring this concept in the first place all those years ago, when first donating Surplus Stock back to us in 2018.
