When Genna a designer at NEXT was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's she wanted to help support others and approached her team to share her thoughts and ideas. Genna felt that NEXT could support charities financially and share the charities message whilst raising awareness of Parkinson's.
Parkinson's and NEXT wanted to encourage those with the disease to continue to 'Live Life & Inspire'. NEXT has continued to work with Parkinson's UK to design and produce charity t-shirts with 100% of the profits from this collection donated to Parkinson's UK.
Our Product Collaborations are designed with the charity in mind. We aim to design an exciting item that reflects the charities aims and values. Ensuring that they're able to use our platform to share their mission. A percentage of the profit from sales goes straight to the charity. Click here to view our previous product collaborations.

SMILEY FILM AWARDS
Play to meet some of the faces behind LOROS Hospice
We have entered a film into the Corporate category of the Smiley Film Awards. Our Brands team has followed the 'Together with NEXT' Team's journey from the conception of the Together with NEXT range for LOROS to the final Auction and everything in between.
It has been a fantastic collaboration that has involved so many. It was great to see how people working together can share the great work of the LOROS hospice as well as creating products that our customers love with the profit going to the charity LOROS.

The Smiley Charity Film Awards (The Smileys) has supported over 5,000 charities and has engaged over 1 million individuals through voting. The film awards give charities a platform to share information about their cause through film whilst giving audiences the opportunity to vote for their favourite film. They proudly hold the title of the world's largest cause-based film campaign, recognized by the British Film Institute (BFI) and IMBd (internet movie database)
The awards serve to promote charities. They connect with individuals 'encouraging conversation and engagement with every film entry and their cause'. The Smileys recognize all cause based films regardless of the size of the charity or the budget. To find out more click here.
We'd love you to get involved and vote for your favourite film right here. It's quick and easy to take part and by voting you will help the charity increase their reach. It's been proven that the more people engage with a charity cause based film that they become more supportive of that charity. These awards really do make a huge impact.
