Express Refreshments brings charity to Black Friday 2018!
Black Friday. You can’t fail to have noticed the shopping phenomenon that consumes the Nation every year. And now we’ve decided to get on board with Black Friday ourselves in the most charitable way possible. We have committed to donate 10p from each sale made in our Micro Markets, to a charity that is set to be nominated by each customer.
Express Refreshments has been making a difference to the wellbeing of workforces for a while, and it will now also make a difference to a wide range of charities that do some truly excellent work. The programme will begin today, Friday 23rd November, and run for 7 days until next Friday 30th. It is the first time our Express Refreshments division has got on board with Black Friday and we’re confident of it being a success.
Each customer has been made aware of the programme and are delighted to take part. The nominated charities include:
Douglas Macmillan.
Douglas Macmillan aim to provide an excellent level of care to people approaching end of life. The hospice operates around the clock 365 days a year and they care for over 3000 patients with life-limiting illnesses every year in and around North Staffordshire.
