A Million & Me
2018 was Boots’ fifteenth year in partnership with BBC Children in Need and colleagues and customers marked the occasion by going bright to raise vital funds.
Boots colleagues held pop-up Pudsey make-up spots across 100 stores, giving customers a special Go Bright look for Pudsey.
Thanks to the hard work of everyone at Boots, they raised an incredible £1.1million to help support disadvantaged children and young people across the UK! To date Boots have raised over £12.7million for BBC Children in Need- incredible!
A Million & Me
In April 2019, we launched a new £10m three-year funding programme that will focus on children’s mental health A Million & Me is an early action programme which aims to support children aged 8-13 across the UK through this tricky transition phase in their lives.
The programme will fund innovative initiatives that can make a real difference to the emotional wellbeing of children aged 8-13, before emerging challenges require clinical intervention.
As our Principal Partner, Boots UK, have an important role in the programme and as of May 2019 are providing information and support to customers in their stores throughout the UK as well as online. Boots colleagues will help parents and carers to have positive proactive conversations with children about mental wellbeing, with the aim of having a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of families in the communities they operate in.
