Charities

Aurora are committed to giving something back to the community and work closely with a number of charities.

All of the brands are very active in fund raising, from sample sales to charity bakes, in-store events to marathons. All employees value giving something back to the community and share this responsibility and sense of giving.

The group also supports the Newlife Foundation for disabled and terminally ill children in the UK through clothing donations.

Richard House

The Group supports Richard House Hospice, a UK children’s hospice that provides care and support for life-limited children and children with complex healthcare conditions and their families.

Derek Lovelock was asked to be chairman of the Richard House Trading Company and realised the potential to make a difference in this developing hospice based in the east end of London. Since then, the group have heavily supported the biggest donation event of the year, the Annual Ball. Aurora co-ordinate and help sponsor the ball, with employees on the committee and many staff attending the event and participating in the auction, which last year raised over £120,000 for Richard House Hospice. The brands also organise events throughout the year to raise money for this worthy charity.

Coast Wedding Dress Donations

Coast are involved in a donation scheme whereby they send wedding dresses to a charity in Uganda for women in refugee camps. This allows the women to provide a dress hire service for weddings with the intention that this will become a sustainable form of income.

Stanton Charity Committee

The Charity Committee facilitates and supports ideas from the 450+ staff on raising funds for both local causes, which usually have a special personal connection, and the larger well known charities whilst creating fun and bringing the teams closer together whilst doing so.

Events are organised on a regular basis and range from cake sales to sponsored walks to climbing mountains!
