As we enter into our 10th year in partnership with Mace, we wanted to pause and reflect on the past year and say a massive Thank You to all the stores for their support to NICHS in 2025!
It was fantastic to see so many stores getting creative and running so many amazing fundraisers for NICHS in support of local people living with chest, heart & stroke conditions. We saw bake sales, coffee mornings, in-store Karaoke, Static Cycles, Jolly jumpers and Christmas Extravaganza’s. We also enjoyed getting out to so many of the stores this year and meeting the teams in each one, something we are looking forward to continuing in 2026.
We will be in touch soon to let everyone know their fundraising totals for the year, as well as calling out to visit the Top 10 Fundraising Stores!

Book in your Static Cycle
It won't be long before the warmer months are upon us, so now is the perfect time to plan ahead and book in your static cycle slot!
We take the hassle out of organising a bike by delivering it straight to the store and will be on hand on the day with lots of NICHS goodies to give away to customers while you and your colleagues clock up some miles to raise funds for NICHS.
Get in touch with our Corporate Team today to book your date now - see contact details at the bottom of this email.
