H. Samuel staff put their best foot forward
STAFF at H. Samuel Ankerside will be swapping selling jewellery for walking on Sunday 19 June, when the entire staff take on a 13.1-mile challenge for charity.
As part of the ‘90 ways for 90 days’ campaign, currently running across the popular jewellery chain nationwide, Store Manager Nina Pabla and her five colleagues will be travelling to Dovedale in the Peak District and walking the half-marathon distance in a bid to raise money for cancer charity, CLIC Sargent.
Nina said she was delighted to be raising money for the charity that provides support to young cancer patients and their families. “The work that CLIC Sargent does is vital for those that really need it by supporting them at a time they need it the most,” said Nina.
“Everyone in the store wanted to be a part of this walk and to do it as a team as it is for such a good cause. Staff from other H. Samuel branches have kindly volunteered to come and cover us on 19 June so that everyone can be a part of it, and the store can still remain open. I’d like to thank our District Manager, Alastair MacDougall, who has been really supportive and has allowed us to do the walk as a full team. It really means a lot to everyone here.”
“For anyone that wants to donate they can come in and see one of the team – our collection will be running until the end of July.”
Ankerside Centre Manager, Jeff Wigley, said he was thrilled that the staff from H. Samuel had rallied together to raise money for CLIC Sargent. “We’re a big community here at Ankerside and it’s great that shops like H. Samuel take part in activities such as this for charity. From everyone here at the centre I’d like to wish them a huge ‘good luck’ ahead of their walk.”
As well as the walk there will be a range of different activities taking place in-store as part of the ‘90 ways in 90 days’ campaign that began on the 1st May and will continue till the 31st July. Football fans will be able to enter a raffle to win a football signed by Leicester City player and recent Premiership winner, Marc Albrighton. For those with youngsters visiting the shop, they’ll be in with the chance of winning a huge jar of jellybeans if they guess the correct total. More prizes and events are set to be announced in the coming weeks.
