Bakery chain set to get in a mauve mood
All Simmons’ 34 shops across Herts will be getting involved by baking special purple-iced cupcakes throughout the month and giving a percentage of sales to help fund the hospice’s care.
The Grow Purple initiative aims to inspire local companies to take a purple £20 note and grow it into a larger sum, in whatever enterprising way they can think of – such as a purple-themed dress down day, raffle, coffee morning or bake-off – and sits alongside the charity’s Go Purple fundraising day on October 7.

Simmons’ retail director Gill Ewing said: “We are delighted to support a local charity which directly helps patients from the areas where we have shops. I know from personal experience what amazing work the Hospice of St Francis does and the =very real difference it makes to the lives of those under its care.”
