OUR IMPACT
The "Our Impact" pillar is made up of two key focuses - Climate Action and Conscious Consumption. As part of this, we have launched the "Recycle Your Fashion" initiative to breathe new life into your old clothes.
How does it work?
1 - Simply drop your pre-loved items off at our Guest Services Suite.
2 - All the items collected are either donated to those in need or recycled.
3 - As a thank you, you will receive 10% off for your next visit to the centre.

OUR COMMUNITIES
Each year we partner with a local charity to suport the vital work they do, help them to raise funds and bring about further awareness within our community.
We have partnered with The Spirit of Christmas who promote education, family and community interaction through three main projects.
Here are just a few of the ways we worked with The Spirit of Christmas throughout the year:
- In 2022 & 2023 we teamed up with York Mix and hosted a large Toy Appeal over the festive period. With the help of our customers and brands, we managed to donate over 10,000 toys to our local community.
We believe that every child deserves to experience the magic of Christmas and The Toy Appeal steps in to help Father Christmas do this for thousands of children every year.
Coming Soon!
As we have entered a new year, we will be partnering with another local charity for 2024.Keep an eye on our social media channels for the big announcement!
