Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

2020 has been a year that we all want to forget, but we want something good to remember about it too. All of our wonderful Argos colleagues across the North West Region are 'Getting Moving' over 2020km in a variety of ingenious, socially distanced ways! We are all looking for ways to raise money and sponsorship to support the amazing work Derian House do to help seriously ill children and their families across the North West.  The hospice gives children and young people respite stays, end-of-life care and bereavement support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This costs approx £4.5 million per year and less than 8% of funding is guaranteed, the rest needs to come from fundraising events like this.  Please help us to support them to provide a safe haven for families facing the most challenging times of their lives.

If each of our colleagues raise just £13 each, then we will raise over £10,000 for Derian House.  All donations big or small will go some way to help us reach our target.  Thank you in advance if you are in a position to make a donation, all we ask is that you please complete the gift aid declaration if you can, and to leave the store or colleague name in the comments section so we know who else to thank as well as you! We recognise not everybody is in a position to make a financial donation, but your encouragement, moral support and hurrahs are equally as important and well received. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we look forward to providing you with our updates!
