Swindon Designer Outlet raises £22,000 for Julia's House children's hospice

The Designer Outlet in Swindon had raised more than £22,000 for the children's hospice charity Julia's House over a three-year partnership, Swindon24 reported on Tuesday 12 May 2026. Representatives of the charity had recently visited the centre, named in the report as Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Swindon, to collect a cheque for the total.

The partnership began during Swindon's Big Dog Art Trail in 2023, and the outlet had named Julia's House its Charity of the Year for three years running.

How was the money raised?

• Donations linked to the centre's Christmas experiences
• Fundraising treks and marathon challenges by staff
• A permanent donation station inside the centre, open to shoppers all year

Lost property that was not claimed in time was also passed to Julia's House charity shops to be sold.

Jo Common, Corporate Fundraiser at Julia's House, said: "It is amazing that the outlet has raised and donated an incredible £22,000". She added: "We are thrilled that their support is continuing."

Charlotte King, Marketing Manager at the outlet, said: "We're incredibly proud of what we've achieved together over the past three years."

Who did it help?

Julia's House provides specialist clinical care and emotional support for children with life-limiting and complex conditions, and supports families across Wiltshire and Dorset. The outlet confirmed it would carry on supporting the charity into 2026.
