Hobbycraft colleagues in Milton Keynes will be running ‘hat-blinging’ workshops this March, supporting charity Brain Tumour Research for their 2017 ‘Wear A Hat Day’ campaign.
Between 12-2pm every Saturday in March, customers are invited to free workshops at the Milton Keynes store, where they will be able to get creative and bling up their hat, with the help of Hobbycraft’s in-store experts.
The branch will then celebrate Wear a Hat Day on Saturday April 1, between 11am-3pm, with colleagues donning their most fabulous and fun hats – and customers encouraged to do the same!
Donations made will support national charity Brain Tumour Research. Brain Tumour Research is committed to funding sustainable research into brain tumours - the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under the age of 40.
Since launching in 2009, the charity has raised more than £10 million due the hard work of supporters and campaigns including Wear A Hat Day.
Wear A Hat Day returns on Friday, March 31 for the eighth year and it will be bigger, bolder and HATTIER than ever before with celebrity ambassadors, including Debbie McGee, Ed Balls, John Newman and Sarah Beeny.
Celebrated milliner to rock stars and royalty, Stephen Jones OBE, has created three one-off hats made from Hobbycraft products.
Sue Farrington Smith MBE, chief executive of Brain Tumour Research, said: “Partnering with Hobbycraft on this campaign is a game-changing opportunity to raise awareness of this devastating disease. The money raised, simply by having fun with hats, will go towards sustainable research that will bring us closer to a cure for brain tumours.”
Funds raised will go towards the charity’s network of world class brain tumour research centres throughout the UK.
