The Alzheimer’s Society has been supported by the healthcare retail business for the past seven years across its 200 healthcare-based retail sites, already raising over £400,000. With the addition of its Instore cafes across the country, a further 125 sites will now be raising funds the charity.
Andy Jones, managing director of Compass Retail said: “We are so proud of our partnership with them and after many successful years raising money at our healthcare retail stores, it’s great that we are now able to expand our partnership further, raising even more essential funds for their important work. Our instore teams are really looking forward to supporting with future fundraising initiatives.”
The stores will all be participating in the annual Elf Week (w/c 2 December) – which sees employees dress up to raise funds throughout the week in the run up to Christmas.
Kate Lee, chief executive at the Alzheimer’s Society, added: “Someone develops dementia every three minutes and the money raised by Compass’s employees will enable us to continue providing vital support for everyone affected by dementia. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together with many more important fundraising campaigns, so that people living with dementia today have the support they deserve.”
