Today, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Bridgend and one of the UK’s leading children’s charity Tŷ Hafan are proud to announce a continuation of their long-standing partnership for another year.

- Easy access donation point in the centre will be available from February, customers will be able to directly donate an amount of choice to Tŷ Hafan via a QR code or contactless payment located within the shopping centre
