Leading children’s charity, Barnardo’s, has launched an exclusive range of William Morris products for the festive season. The pieces from the celebrated brand, which feature a new Hyacinth print in an on-trend dark berry shade, are now available exclusively in Barnardo’s charity shops across the region.
Highlights from the range include a classic scarf and stylish umbrella, as well as a travel mug, note block, and candle and diffuser set. All are priced at under £10 each, making them ideal Christmas stocking fillers.
The money raised from the range will support children and families across the UK, including in the West Midlands. Recent research published by Barnardo’s found that food bank usage has almost trebled in the region, as a direct result of the cost-of-living situation, with more than a quarter of parents of children aged 18 and under in the West Midlands (28%) struggling to provide sufficient food for their children over the past 12 months.
Hugh Sherriffe, Director of Barnardo’s Central Region said: “The continuing cost-of-living crisis means that many families are facing a desperate struggle to keep the power on and the fridge stocked this winter.
“Shopping at a Barnardo’s store this Christmas will not only give locals the chance to browse a range of exclusive gifts, but also play a part in helping us to raise much-needed funds to continue supporting the thousands of children and families in the West Midlands who need us most.”
Other gifts available from Barnardo’s charity shops this Christmas include a range of classic wooden children’s toys, and fun and eco-friendly printed cotton crackers which can be re-used each year.
