Friendship bracelet

A-list celebrity Jade Jagger’s iconic friendship bracelet, designed for CLIC Sargent, is now available exclusively at Tesco stores across the UK.  

Inspired by the CLIC Sargent flower logo, the braided cotton thread bracelet features a round silver coloured disk that has a beautiful flower motif, designed by Jade, engraved in the middle.  To suit all tastes, this season’s fashion accessory comes in fuchsia, blue and green. 

In-store throughout February, shoppers will be able to get hold of the limited edition bracelet by donating a suggested £1 into the display box at all till points. 

The money raised will contribute towards the charity’s partnership with Tesco which aims to raise £5 million to help fund CLIC Sargent specialist children’s cancer nurses who help children spend more time at home and less time in hospital. 

Commenting on the partnership Jade Jagger said: “I’m really pleased with the design of the bracelets. The motif is simple and eye-catching and I hope shoppers like them and encourage as many of their friends and family to wear one so we can raise as much as possible for a really worthy cause.” 

Around 10 families a day are told that their child has cancer and treatment can last for up to three years.  Julie Worrall, Tesco Campaign Manager at CLIC Sargent, said: “I would like to thank all shoppers who support our charity partnership and make a donation in return for one of Jade’s bracelets.   

“It will help us reach our goal of £5 million to help fund CLIC Sargent nurses who are able to act as key workers and coordinate children’s care when they leave hospital so children with cancer can live as normal a life as possible.”
