Staff and customers at out-of-town fashion store chain Outfit have raised £250,000
for Alzheimer's Society, the company's charity of the year since July 2011. The 
[Arcadia ](http://www.arcadiagroup.co.uk/fashionfootprint/our-communities/charities-community)
owned chain includes brands such as Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Burton.

Staff from 57 Outfit fashion stores across the UK have taken part in various fundraising
events over the last 18 months, including family fun days, site to site relays, 
abseils and cycle rides. Customers have also been raising funds by buying specially
designed jewel key rings, shopping bags and compact mirrors.

The original fundraising target was £200,000.
