Debenhams store was bustling during Kids Week, with animators entertaining children while their parents availed themselves of the various offers, including 15 per cent off all children’s products and a free gift with purchases over €50. For every item sold during the week, Debenhams made a cash donation to the Ursuline Crèche in Sliema.

The crèche provides a home for around 50 children aged up to the age of three who, for various reasons, are unable to live within their natural family environment. It welcomes all children, regardless of religion, race or social class, but receives no income apart from donations by benefactors such as Debenhams, and the children’s allowance.

Debenhams Sales and Visual Merchandise manager Lorraine Vella said: “Debenhams is aware of all the sterling work taking place at the Sliema Crèche. Through our Kids Week activities, we wanted to extend a hand to those who are not so fortunate and to give their carers a helping hand in providing them with the best care possible.”
