Matalan, its chairman John Hargreaves and his family have raised £1.1 million for
the NSPCC FULL STOP campaign to end cruelty to children.

John Hargreaves is a long-standing supporter of the children’s charity. In partnership
with the NSPCC, a number of events were organised and held, ranging from Gala Balls
held at Knowsley Hall in Merseyside, the home of Lord and Lady Derby, to in-store
fundraising by Matalan employees.
