Local Giving, Real Impact

Our Local Giving initiative provides funding, in-store support, and donation-raising for causes chosen by our local branches, helping reduce barriers, tackle inequality, and improve social connection.


This winter alone, colleagues across our stores are supporting over 100 local charities, each making a difference where it matters most.


Recently, colleagues from two of our Norwich stores visited The Hamlet Charity —the charity they chose to support this winter.


Angela Carpenter, our Community Support Lead, joined them:


“I was amazed by the incredible work the Hamlet Centre does. From early years play and learning for children with special needs, to family support programmes and social opportunities for young people and adults, The Hamlet Centre offers truly life-changing services. They’re supporting over 500 families with disabilities and complex health needs.”
