Browns, whose founding store and head office is in York, together with their three branches in Helmsley, Beverley and Gainsborough hosted a special shopping event with a luxury raffle for the children’s hospice which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Loyal customers enjoyed festive shopping, live music, complimentary refreshments and a chance to purchase tickets to the raffle which included a set of diamond earrings worth £400 and a signed Lulu Guinness handbag.
Ticket sales raised £3,481, and Browns contributed £519, making a total of £4,000 for the charity.
