About Us

After helping raise £482m for good causes as Creative Director of Comic Relief and the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Chris Ward found  that shoppers spent £870m in Westfield London in the same period. He wanted to use the power of major brands and celebrities, to enable every charity to engage with consumers through great content. So he created Blue Dot!

Blue Dots for the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall

Blue Dot are delighted to announce our partnership with The Teenage Cancer Trust. We are helping raise awareness and rewarding and recognising the people who support them…

Each year The Teenage Cancer Trust organises a week of fundraising concerts at The Royal Albert Hall and have raised over £14million since they started in 2000. With people like Paul McCartney, Example, Pulp, Jessie J, Jason Manford and Florence and the machine all performing this year, it’s going to be an amazing week and we’re so excited to be a part of it. Keep an eye out for the announcement of the support acts too who will no doubt be amazing too!

We have created a special site where people can support the Teenage Cancer Trust, and in return, access exclusive backstage goodies from the artists and performers involved after the event. As well as lots of great competitions and special offers exclusively available for people with Dots. Everyone who attends the Royal Albert Hall in support of the Teenage Cancer Trust at the end of March / beginning of April will also receive some Blue Dots as a thank you.

You don’t have to wait until the event to show your support though, just click here and log in with facebook. You can then support this amazing cause in various ways, get rewarded with Dots as a thank-you, then use your Dots in the store and get great stuff.

One way of getting a Dot, is liking the Teenage Cancer Trusts facebook page. So like their page now and remember to follow them on twitter too. Spread the word and share the love! You can also get Dots for donating to them too through the site via JustGiving.

The Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for young people with cancer aged between 13 and 24. They build specialist units within NHS hospitals, bringing young people together to be treated by teenage cancer experts in a place designed just for them.  They want every young person with cancer to have access to this specialist support, no matter where they live. They rely solely on donations to fund their vital work.  You can help transform the lives of young people with cancer now.  Visit www.teenagecancertrust.org to find out how.
