We love bagging a bargain as much as the next (wo)man – hell yes we do. And at the Motherland Storewe rather like offering our customers discounts, too. They’re good for buyers, good for business… But the recent, frenzied arrival of Black Friday in Britain is, for want of a better word, bullshit. We toyed with the idea of offering a discount because we felt we had to in order to compete. But then we figured that Black Friday represents something we don’t want to be part of – so we decided not to mark it. Instead, from now until Christmas, if you do fancy purchasing something in our shop, we’ll give £2 from every sale to the wonderful people at Richard House Children’s Hospice: an often overlooked charity which cares for and offer positive experiences to terminally ill children and their families, in London. For more info on Richard House, visit richardhouse.org.uk
