Dobbies’ Events Programme Manager, Ayesha Nickson, said: “Christmas Shopping Night is a great opportunity for friends and family to come together and get a head start on the Christmas shopping at our Woodcote Green store. We have some great offers and promotions to take advantage of, whilst soaking up the festive atmosphere and fundraising for a great cause.”
Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity. Dobbies is working together with Alzheimer’s Research UK to highlight the benefits of garden living for brain health and raise funds to find a cure for dementia, raising more than £40,000 for the charity since the partnership launched in March.
Paul Glazier, from Alzheimer’s Research UK, said: “With almost 1million people currently living with dementia in the UK, it is vital that we come together and end the heartbreak of this condition.
“Thank you, Dobbies, for standing with us for a cure.”
