Happy new year!
Despite the disruption to seasonal plans across the UK, I hope that all of you have been able to enjoy some time with friends or other loved ones.
It was a difficult decision to postpone our own festive get-togethers for shop teams, particularly since there was so much to celebrate this year. So let’s take a moment to look back at some of those brilliant things we’ve achieved in Trading this year. We…
* Got back to business - again - proving our determination and dedication;
* Raised a stunning £1.1m for Stand Up to Cancer;
* Helped the UK to recycle thousands of tonnes of clothing, selling pre-loved items to 10 million customers;
* Opened three new superstores, including our first coffee shop;
* Raised £300,000 for children and young people; and
* Released our first “Instagram TV” series - follow us on @CRUKshops if you missed it!
I hope you're all extremely proud of the fundraising contribution we give to beat cancer. I can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve, safely, together this year.
Look after yourself and each other,
Julie
Julie Byard, Director of Trading Cancer Research UK
