Denim Talk

This month its all about denim. With the ever important Jeans for Genes day approaching on the 23rd September, we will be giving 10% off all profits from denim sold in store between 16th September & the 23rd.

This great charity uses the money raised to fund a range of initiatives that improve the lives of children affected by a genetic disorder.

-They run an annual grant programme that is open to all UK charities and patient groups caring for children with genetic disorders.

-They develop resources for schools to make pupils more aware and empathetic of the difficult lives that children with genetic disorders lead.

-They also fund the work of Genetic Disorders UK, the national charity dedicated to supporting families affected by genetic disorders.

So, as you can see- a very worthy charity to support!

We have some amazing denim in at the moment; and whilst feeding your shopping habbits you will also be helping a very worthwhile cause- win/win!!
