Bonmarche Horsham to Wear it Pink for charity

We are also collecting any used bras from now until the end of October, a bin is available in store for them. These will then be sold for recycling and the money given to the charity.

Jamie McIntosh, Store Manager, says: “I can’t wait for our store’s Wear it Pink day this year. I always enjoy seeing how inventive and daring people get with their outfits.

“This is the sixth year that we will be supporting the event and I’m hoping that 2013 will be even bigger and better than before! It really is great to be able to raise money for an illness that affects so many people, especially our customers, and support their research.”
