Happy World Bee Day 🐝

Today, we are wearing yellow in memory of Bebe King and to support our flagship charity partner, Bebe’s Hive, which was founded in her name. From Sydney to Ormskirk, and even with some of our amazing customers joining in while touring Japan and China, the support has been incredible.

Bebe’s Hive provides creative, play-based bereavement support for children and families navigating grief, offering safe spaces where young people can express emotions, build confidence and feel supported during incredibly difficult times. The organisation holds a particularly special place in our hearts, having been established in loving memory of Bebe King, one of the children who tragically lost her life in the Southport attacks.

A massive thank you to everyone who has taken part today, and for your ongoing support of our charity partners!
