Charity donation requests

Whilst we would very much like to help and can fully appreciate how important it is to support worthwhile causes, we regret that the sheer volume of requests we currently receive makes it difficult for hmv to respond in each case with a donation or a contribution of some kind.

For this main reason but also so that we may remain consistent in not unduly favouring one request above another, hmv and Fopp direct much of their fundraising and community engagement activities towards two nominated charities. These are Nordoff Robbins, a national music charity that uses music therapy to help a range of people from challenges such as autism, dementia, mental health problems, stroke, brain injury, depression, and life-threatening or terminal illnesses, such as cancer, and War Child, who provide life-changing support to the most vulnerable children whose families, communities and schools have been torn apart by war.

So, we very much hope that you will appreciate our position and trust that you will forgive us that we are unable to assist with a donation for your charity and for any disappointment this may cause. We trust also that you will kindly accept and pass on our very best wishes.
