The New Year is almost upon us, we’ll soon be in 2016, so now is the time to take a look back at some of our best moments from 2015. It’s been a very exciting year at Wholesale Domestic HQ and as well as sharing our top news stories with you, we’ve also shared some great blogs focused on top tips and expert bathroom advice to boot. So let’s take a look back at our most loved stories this year, there’s still time to learn a trick or two in 2015…

5. This year we decided to sponsor a Glasgow charity called Cash for Kids. This amazing charity provides cash grants for underprivileged, disabled and disadvantaged children throughout Glasgow and the West. This charity makes a huge difference to children’s lives by giving them something to look forward to at Christmas time. The grant provides parents with the opportunity to buy their children a small gift, a special Christmas meal and a fuel card to make Christmas special for all children. We helped by setting up a Christmas tree in our showroom and encouraged our customers to purchase a Cash for Kids tree decoration for £2. The decoration was then added to our tree and all money raised was sent over to the Cash for Kids charity. We also hosted a Christmas Jumper Day, where our staff wore a Christmas jumper and donated to the charity in support. Donations are accepted all year round and so far this amazing charity has raised just under £1.5 million pounds in 2015. Read more about Cash for Kids and how we helped them achieve their best year ever.
