Stay warm this winter and help the NSPCC

As the nights draw in, and colder weather approaches, you can enjoy the warmth of a very special onesie as well as the glow of helping children around the UK.

The UK’s ‘top brand, bottom price’ retailer is playing its part in the fight for every childhood again this year, through its continuing partnership with the NSPCC which has so far raised more than £681,000 to support children and young people across the country.

From September 21, these exclusive, limited-edition penguin onesies will be available from Home Bargains stores across the country and online (at www.homebargains.co.uk), and this year, we want to see your penguin selfies on social media using the hashtag #TeamPenguin.

The onesies are available in adult and children’s sizes, and Home Bargains is also selling a collection of festive Christmas cards, with proceeds going to support the children’s charity.

Daniel Sowden, buying director at family-run Home Bargains, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be supporting the NSPCC again, and we’re certain adults and parents everywhere will love the limited-edition onesies we’ve got on offer this year.

“Because we have more than 500 Home Bargains stores on many of the UK’s high streets, it means we’re in a great position to call on our customers to help support the NSPCC in its essential work supporting children and families all over the country.”

Like Home Bargains, the NSPCC is proud to have roots in Liverpool, where it was formed in 1884 following the creation of the Liverpool Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children the previous year by local banker Thomas Agnew.

Throughout the pandemic, the NSPCC has ensured it was still here for children and young people everywhere who need help.

Tess O’Callaghan, senior corporate partnerships manager for the NSPCC, said: “For almost 150 years, the NSPCC has been here to help children and young people, and even now, even as 2020 has thrown so many unprecedented challenges at us all, we’re still here on the frontline.

“Thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners like Home Bargains, we can continue to offer support and essential help to children and families across the UK. The money raised by this partnership, and the sale of these adorable penguin onesies and cards will help change the lives of thousands of children and bring them light in their darkest time, and we’re delighted and incredibly grateful to Home Bargains for its support.”
