SELFRIDGES VOLUNTEERING MONTH IN ACTION 💛

Throughout August, #TeamSelfridges has been giving a helping hand to our local communities using their paid volunteering days.

Our Property & Design team spent the day showing their flair for retail at our charity partner Oxfam's Notting Hill store, leading to record takings for the branch!

All the sales driven by #TeamSelfridges will help Oxfam to contribute essentials to those in need, such as two 11,000 litre water tanks or 120 children’s puppet sets to promote hygiene activities.

Well done to the Property & Design team and stay tuned for more from Selfridges Volunteering Month!
