Pixie in the community

We want to make a positive difference to our local community and we do this by focusing on issues that are important for our business, our staff, our customers and our local community.

Pixie is an active member of the Hale Business Association (HBA).  The HBA was established in January 2014 and it exists to help create a community spirit and make a difference to the lives of the businesses operating within Hale.

The new Hale Business Association website will be going live in the New Year. In the meantime if you would like to find out more about the HBA please email Johanna Bolhoven.

Work with us

If you’d like to hold an activity in our store, we’d love to hear from you. We don’t make a charge to use our shop space but we do ask that suppliers make a small donation to one of our chosen charities.

To discuss an event or in-store activity please email Johanna Bolhoven.
