The Have a Heart campaign is back for Christmas. It generates hundreds of gifts for children every year and hopes to bring a smile to many youngster’s faces on Christmas morning.

In partnership with Home Start Lincolnshire, Harbour Place and the NSPCC, the annual and popular campaign embraces the season of giving by inviting the public to donate a Christmas gift to a child who is less fortunate this festive season.

If you would like to get involved, simply take a tag from the tree located at the Customer Services Desk which contains a child’s age and gender, buy a gift and return the unwrapped gift and tag back to the customer services desk.

Thank you so much to everyone who gets involved this Christmas.

Freshney Place is proud to be joining hundreds of businesses nationwide this year in supporting Purple Tuesday, helping to improve the customer experience for people with disabilities.

Last year, the first ever Purple Tuesday was a huge success – with over 1,500 pledges to make concrete changes and improve the customer experience for disabled people. This included commitments such as: staff training, digital audits, better signage and training of frontline staff in basic sign language. Purple Tuesday gathered support from over 750 businesses. 

Freshney Place works hard to ensure it offers an inclusive environment for all its customers and in recent years, amongst other things, has created a weekly Autism Hour and provided customer facing staff with Makaton training.

Purple Tuesday has been developed by disability organisation Purple; which works with businesses to improve their customer experience for disabled people.

Did you know that British Heart Foundation collect all sorts of items that you no longer have use for?

All items donated to British Heart Foundation stores will fund life saving research! To learn more, you can read below.

Freshney Place Shopping Centre has unveiled an exhibition to celebrate the past 50 years of retail by displaying a showcase of local people’s stories, experiences and memories.

The Step In To Our Story exhibition, which was officially opened by The Mayor, Cllr Terry Walker is now available for the public to view in Market Square near Starbucks. It celebrates memories from the precinct to the present day and will be available to view from today.

Comprised of 50 personal stories, the exhibition includes memories from a wide variety of locals, including Brenda Fisher, a Grimsby trawler man’s daughter who swam the channel in 12 hours 42 minutes in 1951, beating the previous record by 38 minutes. The Mayor and Julie Peasgood, actress and TV presenter are also amongst the 50 interviewees, each marking a year since the centre first opened its doors when it was called The Riverhead shopping precinct.

Individual stories recount times from when the Friar Tuck Pub was standing, the department store Lawson & Stockdale offered stunning window displays and when palm trees stood in Freshney Place!
