**Argos is aiming to raise £70,000 this Christmas by selling glitter stars for its
charity partner Leukaemia Research in its stores across Britain.**

The stars are sparkly silver or festive red, and are offered for a suggested donation
of £1 each.

The glitter stars are available in Argos stores across the UK and are part of the
retailer’s fundraising activities for their charity partner, Leukaemia Research,
the UK’s leading blood cancer charity.
