Fundraising and Partnerships
Charity Partnership
In 2018, we announced Teenage Cancer Trust as our first ever National Charity Partner, and we are pleased to continue this partnership
Throughout the year, we host a range of fundraising activities across our stores. From team members completing fundraising challenges including hikes, head shaves and bake sales, to in-store events like our Christmas Shopping Night
Around seven young people, aged 13 and 24, are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. They need expert treatment and age appropriate nursing support from the moment they hear the word “cancer”. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only charity dedicated to making this happen
Dobbies has raised over £1.39 million pounds for Teenage Cancer Trust since the beginning of the partnership
Growing a partnership to help rebuild lives
Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. But the brain can adapt. The Stroke Association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. The charity provides specialist support, funds critical research and campaigns to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives
Dobbies is working with the Stroke Association to provide stroke survivors with a range of practical and engaging advice and tips to help people affected by stroke share our joy in gardening
