Hagley West is thrilled to announce our partnership with the National Autistic Society, the leading charity for autistic people and their families in the UK. We aim to play a crucial role in fostering an atmosphere of acceptance by educating people about autism and the diverse needs of autistic people.

In a testament to our commitment to social responsibility, we successfully raised an impressive £27,600 in just six minutes for the National Autistic Society. 

This remarkable campaign saw all £26,000 of stock snapped up within moments of going live, with an extraordinary additional £1,600 being generously donated by Hagley West’s loyal customers.

The fundraising event organised by Tim Hayden / Hagley West was nothing short of a whirlwind success. Hagley West launched a Spectrum Colour Watch in partnership with the National Autistic Society. This watch went on sale exclusively on the 2nd of April with all proceeds going to the charity. 

Through a combination of online promotions, social media buzz, and the generosity of supporters/followers, we managed to achieve an incredible result in record time.
