Berry's Jewellers Charity Scheme
“Whatever you’re facing, we’re here to listen”
Berry’s Jewellers will focus all of their fundraising efforts throughout the course of 2024, in aid of Samaritans.
Berry’s Jewellers is supporting Samaritans to help them raise funds; the current cost-of-living crisis, and the fact suicide rates in England are as high now as they were over
20 years ago, makes their work even more valuable. The company hopes to raise money for this very worthwhile cause with various fundraising efforts over the course of 2024, including our annual sponsored walk in September.

“Our vision is to make a difference for anyone who may be terminally ill, have mental health issues or be socially deprived and to support young, poorly or disabled people to improve their lives and hopefully add a little sparkle”
After many years helping many charities on an ad hoc basis, we are now launching the Berry’s Charity Scheme to focus on one main Charity per year. Our staff regularly take part in fundraising efforts with both local and national charities and we want to improve and hopefully increase the amount we raise by being more united in our approach. We realise that many Charities are underfunded and under pressure to raise money and we want to try and help them.
We have decided that the best way to do this is to ask Registered charities to approach us directly during the year and apply for their Charity to be our chosen charity for the next year. We simply ask potential charities to fill in the form downloaded via the button below and return back to charity@berrysjewellers.co.uk and our newly formed Berry’s Charity Team will then assess each application and make the decision.

The Berry’s Team carried out the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge in aid of Martin House on the 8th of September 2019, raising over £3,000 to go towards the fantastic work Martin House accomplish.
Martin House provides family-led care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions.

Berry’s offered the chance to be a part of this incredible campaign by showing your support and purchasing this truly meaningful necklace. £50 of every sale will be donated to this wonderful cause. Support early detection for the women of today and prevention for the daughters of tomorrow
