Yes, Barretstown and Leukaemia Research
Argos is supporting Leukaemia Research in the UK and Barretstown in Ireland.
On 20 February 2007 Argos announced: "Leading multi-channel retailer Argos is pleased to announce it will be working with Leukaemia Research and Barretstown as the company's next charity partners. The partnership will begin in store [sic] in July when the company's successful relationship with Help the Hospices and the Irish Hospice Foundation draws to a close".

When does this partnership start? As far as I was aware Barretstown was the chosen charity in Ireland for Argos? http://www.barretstown.org/content.asp?contentid=1161
