BRANCHES of a garden centre will be spreading some seasonal cheer while raising money for a national charity.
Dobbies, which has outlets in Hare Hatch and Spencers Wood, will be holding the event on Thursday, November 30, between 5pm and 9pm.
Entry is by a £1 ticket, which goes to Teenage Cancer Trust, its national charity partner. There will be other fundraising events in stores on the evening.
The event will include festive displays, decorations and deals, as well as some surprises.
Dobbies’ CSR and community communications executive, Chloë Bell, says she has been working closely with Teenage Cancer Trust to raise awareness of the work they do.
“Our late-night shopping events are a great chance to gather the family, get into the festive spirit and support a charity that’s making such a difference to teenagers and young adults across the UK,” she continued.
“Last year our fundraising efforts saw more than £100,000 donated to the charity, and we’re hoping to top this benchmark with the help of our customers.”
Donna Bednarek, senior relationship manager for Teenage Cancer Trust, added: “Dobbies’ Christmas Shopping Night is a memorable occasion and one our team, supporters and volunteers look forward to every year.
“It’s a great chance for communities to get together, share a magical experience and raise vital funds to help us deliver life-changing work to teenagers and young adults battling cancer.”
