Spring Fair, the UK's most diverse, vibrant, and exciting wholesale marketplace for home, gift, and fashion which opens its doors this Sunday, is pleased to announce two incredible charity initiatives with the Retail Trust and the Greetings Card Association (GCA), which launch at the show.
In support of its wellbeing charity partner the Retail Trust, Spring Fair is inviting all visitors to donate £5 to the charity if they walk 5,000 steps during their visit to the show. Scan the QR codes located at the entrances of the halls to donate and receive one of the limited numbers of Retail Trust bags being given out as a thank you.
Stuart Thomas, Head of Global Partnerships at Hyve Group plc says; “Don’t just talk the talk, at this year’s show we want you to walk the walk too. Let’s get moving to see the many amazing exhibitors at this year’s Spring Fair, and at the same time raise funds together because support makes us all stronger and now is a crucial time for protecting and improving the lives of retail workers.”
Spring Fair has also partnered up with the Greeting Cards Association to support Thinking of You Week which takes place on the 19th – 25thSeptember 2022. Kicking off its campaign at the show, GCA and Spring Fair organisers are creating a large Thinking of You wall display in Hall 3 of donated greetings cards to highlight Thinking of You Week. There is also an opportunity for visitors to scan the QR code on the wall and donate to the Retail Trust and support their work.
Spring Fair also work with GCA members to ensure the residents of the Retail Trust have cards to send to their loved ones, carers, fellow residents, and the amazing staff at Marshall Estate in Mill Hill for Thinking of You Week. Receiving cards has been particularly important for those self-isolating away from loved ones this year. A card creates a lasting positive boost, helping to stave off feelings of loneliness and isolation and cards displayed at home are reminders that someone cares.
