We are donating all the money raised in our Wales stores through
the Welsh Assembly’s single use carrier bag charges to our long term charitable partner the Woodland Trust. This will enable communities across Wales to plant 8,942 trees at community planting events this autumn.
The Woodland Trust provides free tree planting packs for schools
and community groups to help support their ambition to double the amount of native woodland in the UK, to benefit wildlife, people and
the environment.
