Fundraising
Fundraising is at the heart of everything we do at Elsie’s Story, helping us award grants that make a difference to children and families in our community and create smiles to fill every page of Elsie’s Story.
Warrington Christmas Market
Our Elsie’s Story Christmas pop-ups are back!
Join us at Warrington Christmas Market on Sunday 15th November, where we’ll have a lovely selection of festive themed merchandise, candles, clothing and accessories.
We’re especially excited that this will be the launch of our brand new Elsie’s Story Christmas jumper, designed by children in our community. We can’t wait to share their wonderful designs with you and see their creativity brought to life.
It meant so much to meet so many of our Elsie’s Story community at last year’s pop ups, and we’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones this Christmas. Come along, say hello to our team and enjoy some festive shopping that creates smiles with every purchase.

We’ll be selling our festive Elsie’s Story products, including our brand new Christmas jumpers designed by children, alongside candles, tote bags, accessories and more.
