Can you spare time to
Help our Heroes?
HELP for Heroes has issued an
appeal to local supporters to spare an hour or 2 next month to collect
donations or sell merchandise.
March 2016 will see Debenhams kick start its third annual fundraising campaign
for the military charity.
A key part of that is a National Collection Weekend, over 12 March to 13 March
2016, during
which volunteers are needed to collect donations from customers, sell the
Charity's official merchandise and look after Hero Bear during his personal
appearance at the department store.
He will be at participating stores persuading shoppers to dig deep and
contribute to the cost of supporting wounded, injured and sick servicemen,
women, veterans and their families during their road to recovery.
In addition, Debenhams will also be donating, to Help for Heroes, the
profits from its own, specially designed men's T-shirt range. The products
will be sold online as well as in store, priced £20.
And staff will also do their bit by organising lots of fundraising
activities throughout March 2016. To date, Debenhams partnership with Help for Heroes has resulted in a total
donation of over £700,000.
Bryn Parry, CEO and Co-Founder of Help for Heroes, has appealed to both
volunteers and members of the public to help make Debenhams' National
Collection Weekend a success. "Help for Heroes is hugely grateful to Debenhams for the amazing
support that it has given us. We rely heavily on our wonderful volunteers
and, on this exciting collection weekend, they'll be giving up their time to
do their bit at your local Debenhams store. We'd love for as many people as possible to support them while
they're out doing their shopping. Servicemen and women who are injured today
will still need our support tomorrow and in the days that follow, for the
rest of their lives. They are still battling and we won't let them battle
alone." said Bryn Parry
If you can spare some time over the weekend of 12 March to 13 March
2016, to help at your
local Debenhams, please contact Help for Heroes on:- 01980 846459 or go
