Argos and Help the Hospices have launched a new customer donation facility this 
Christmas which, it is hoped, could earn the charity £250,000 during the next two
years.

The scheme called ‘Tick to Give’ enables customers to give 20p to Help the Hospices
by ticking a box on their selection slip when they are choosing items in store.

They then simply hand over their additional 20p when they pay for their items. 
Early indications are encouraging and the scheme has already raised over £10,000
in the first eight weeks.

The money raised through Tick to Give will be used to help fund Hospice Information—
a multi-media information service provided by Help the Hospices and St Christopher’s
Hospice.
