We couldn’t be prouder for The Fragrance Shop to support such important and special children’s charities across the UK. The kindness of our consumers has been humbling, and we thank each and every person who has made a donation with their purchase. Their support does amazing things for children who are suffering life threatening conditions, and means so much to their families. We can’t wait to see how much we can raise in the next year, and look forward to seeing the continued success of our charity partners.
Rachel Laycock, senior corporate fundraising manager at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity, said:
