CUSTOMERS at an Oxford arts and crafts store are invited to become superheroes for the day and help raise funds for Helen & Douglas House Hospice.
On Saturday, May 28, staff at Hobbycraft in Meadowside Retail Park, Lamarsh Road will don their most dramatic masks and capes to raise money for the children's hospice.
The 'Superhero Saturday' event forms part of the chain's partnership with Together for Short Lives, a UK charity for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions.
Visitors are invited to join staff in costume and take part in superhero-themed crafts throughout the day.
Oxford store manager Kathryn Gummett-Booth said: “Are you a Decopatch Diva or a Needlework Ninja? Then don your cape and join us in store for hero-themed dress up and crafts, raising invaluable awareness and shed loads of money so that Helen & Douglas House can continue their life-changing work.
"All our colleagues will be leading the way at our Superhero Saturday so it’s a case of ‘Fundraisers, Assemble’.”
Funds raised from donations during the day will go straight to Helen & Douglas House, which is based in Magdalen Road and offers hospice and palliative care to hundreds of Oxfordshire children and young people every year.
