Give Back as You Gift with QueenMee

CELEBRATING KINDNESS WITH QUEENMEE
- Give Back as you Gift -
 
QueenMee Accessories, the boutique hair accessories and brooch company, is partnering with Oxford Health Charity . For the whole of November, December, through to Easter 2023, for every £100 spent on QueenMee.com a hair clip or headband from QueenMee’s collection will be donated to a Nurse or Care Worker at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, to give them a well-being boost.
 
Julie Pink, Head of Charity and Involvement at the Trust says of the teams that have received QueenMee Accessories in the past that they: "loved the sparkle (especially when things felt so dark at times)".

QueenMee Founder, Amanda Waterstone Carthy says:
“QueenMee is about celebrating kindness – being kind to yourself, celebrating your own personal style, and giving back as you shop for yourself or others.

“We know that hospitals will be under huge pressure this winter, and that Nurses and Care Workers will be under personal strain themselves. I am very grateful for the kindness NHS nurses have shown me in the past, as I know so many of us are.

“When my youngest daughter was under a year old, I spent 2 weeks with her in hospital, as she underwent a series of emergency operations and tests. Those were dark days indeed, and it was the kindness of the nurses that got me through it.

“I am so pleased to be able to give back to Nurses and Care Workers, through our partnering with Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, and to offer our customers a way to Give Back as they Gift too.

“I hope the colour and sparkle of the donated hair accessories will be uplifting for the Nurses and their patients at a difficult time. “
  
QueenMee Accessories’ collection includes brooches, hair clips, headbands, silk scrunchies, and earrings, all of which make gorgeous gifts – with the bonus of giving back as you shop.

Beautiful, eco-friendly gift wrap is free of charge with every order.
