**FatFace is donating £100,000 of the profits it made on Black Friday to good causes
instead of  offering discounts in its stores and online.**

Profits from sales made in-store or online between 21^(st) and today (28^(th) November)
will all go to local charities including [Wales Air Ambulance](http://www.walesairambulance.com/),
[Bath Cats & Dogs Home](https://www.bathcatsanddogshome.org.uk/), Chilterns MS Centre,
The Meath Epilepsy Trust and Lyme Regis Lifeboat.

To raise further funds, FatFace has also asked people to donate on its Thanks for
Giving campaign page, while fundraising also took place throughout the week with
staff taking part in a variety of events including sleeping out in the cold, cycling
Hadrian’s wall, cycling the length of the Midlands, bake sales, Christmas jumper
days, pub quizzes and sponsored silences.

During [last year’s Black Friday](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/06/19/fat-face-to-donate-to-charity-instead-of-offering-steep-discounts-on-black-friday/),
FatFace donated almost £200,000 to 221 charities local to its stores and chosen 
by its staff.

The FatFace Foundation, the brand’s charitable arm which launched in 2009, aims 
to raise and distribute £1m by 2018, and has also produced an [online booklet](http://fatfacefoundation.org/thanks-for-giving.php)
with case studies showing how last year’s Thanks for Giving campaign has helped 
some of its partner charities.
