Communicating with retail stores

Find out how to communicate with retail stores, and view the retail communications deadline calendar.

All communications with retail stores are managed centrally by the Retail Marketing team. This is to make it as easy as possible for our busy store colleagues to process the information they need.

Our retail communication process document explains how things work. In summary:

  • every Thursday, a weekly email is sent to the entire retail estate; this holds all the information needed by stores in that given week
  • every week, stores also receive a four-week overview of upcoming tasks so they can begin to plan rotas and workloads

If you have a message for a store

If you need a communication to be sent to a store or retail audience, please complete a request form , attach any supporting information, and return it to retailmarketing@barnardos.org.uk.

You need to submit your completed request form at least two weeks in advance of the communication’s publication date. Please see the retail communications deadline calendar for exact dates.
