M&S Edinburgh Chesser Avenue supporting Big Hearts!

We are delighted to announce that M&S Foodhall Chesser Avenue, in the West of Edinburgh, has selected Big Hearts as its local charity partner!

The store, which is visited by many local families, will see M&S colleagues and Big Hearts’ Volunteers come together to raise funds in support of Big Hearts’ work in the community.

A set of fundraising activities at the M&S Foodhall (EH14 1RA) will take place throughout the year, with our first bag packing events on Sunday 25th November and Sunday 16th December, between 11am and 3pm.

Anyone interested in being involved is encouraged to email communications@bighearts.org.uk.

Caryn Kerr, Fundraising and Development Manager at Big Hearts, said:
“We are excited to be teaming up with our local M&S Foodhall at Chesser Avenue to create opportunities for customers to support vulnerable families affected by social isolation. We look forward to hosting our first fundraising activity together on November 25.”

“Along with the M&S staff team we would like to thank Bill and Sandra Alves, M&S customers and Big Hearts Supporters who helped initiate this partnership. They illustrates what it’s all about – a community of big-hearted people joining forces to support those most in need.”

Lauren MacPherson, Store Manager at M&S Chesser Avenue, said:
“We’re thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to raise funds for Big Hearts Community Trust. They work tirelessly to help individuals and families who are in need in Edinburgh. We are delighted that colleagues and customers in our local community can come together to raise funds for such a worthy cause.”
