Helping a family in Nepal this Christmas

Screen Shot 2015-11-06 at 7.33.07 amnewsXpress is proud to be helping a family in Nepal this Christmas by purchasing packaging products they have made to support a range of beautiful hand-made soap.

The beautiful packaging for this hand-made luxury soap is unique and filled with spirit and pride by the family.

We are proud, too, to be able to support this small business family in Nepal.

We look for opportunities for community engagement here in Australia and overseas as we seek to do more in our retail network than only sell products.

This is another newsXpress difference.

newsXpress raising funds for Cecil the Lion

newsXpress members across Australia are raising funds for animal welfare in the wake of the shocking news of the slaughter of Cecil the Lion recently. Thanks to an exclusive supply of the limited edition Cecil the Lion Beanie Boo by ty, newsXpress stores have been taking preorders in advance of stock arrival.

The community reaction to the fundraising campaign has been excellent with thousands engaged on social media and many engaged in-store already thanks to the newsXpress collateral and support.

Many local animal welfare organisations will benefit from this campaign.
