Happy New Year
We’ve made it through the festive frenzy and into 2012. So why not congratulate yourselves on surviving Christmas with some down time and restoratives at No. 2 Pound Street? Make your New Year’s resolution this year to worry less and enjoy more, as we have just the thing to get you through those January blues! From our saintly range of organic juices, cereals and snacks to our devilishly scrumptious wines, ports and even drinking fudges, we’re sure to put a smile back on your face. And speaking of happy faces, we had a shop full of them at our Casino Royale New Year’s Eve party (pics to follow shortly) and even managed to spread the cheer further, raising a fabulous £300 for CATS Children’s Acute Transport Service. So thank you to all our partygoers who donned their black tie finest and glamorous glad rags for a thoroughly stylish night with some great fundraising. We are continuing to support CATS through the month of January, so don’t forget to drop in for a coffee or tea on Mondays, when we don’t charge but instead ask that you make a donation to this hard-working and vital local charity.
And finally, Father Christmas comes bearing the last gifts from No2. In the latter part of 2011 our monthly prize draw elf was seconded to a hamper wrapping and personal shopping role to make sure you all got your gifts and Christmas goodies on time for your celebrations. So without further ado, it is with great pleasure that I can announce we have drawn the £50 December and £100 October & November rollover winners - happy new year! Winners will be contacted separately. Don’t forget to enter this month, and we are also looking for suggestions for products you would like to see in the shop in 2012, with the best suggestion winning a No2 goodie box.

Funds are vital to save more lives, help us to raise £1,000 beofre Christmas.
Here’s the deal, you order a coffee or tea any time on a Monday and No2 will not charge you - however we will ask you to donate the value of the coffee (or more if you like) to the CATS pot.
