Supporting charities and communities
Our charity partnerships give us the opportunity to help people when they need it most. From our long-running support of Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK, to all of our work with local food and anti-poverty charities – we’re proud to back communities across the UK
Together we can help our health charity partners save and improve lives

Food charity partnerships
Community Food Connection scheme
We're working with FareShare, a leading food redistribution charity, to donate surplus food from our stores. We currently donate 2 million meals a month
How you can help
Our annual November food collection takes place in stores across the country. And in 2020, we topped up food donations with an extra 20% in cash. If you missed it, don't worry - there are still ways you can make a difference:
FareShare
Your donations help FareShare get food to communities who need it - just £1 provides enough food for 4 meals
The Trussell Trust
The Trussell Trust supports food banks across the UK. Your donations can help everyone have access to a hunger-free future

How your donations help

Cancer Research UK

Give a little help
Together, we can raise millions of pounds to help save and improve lives
Race for Life
Our partnership with Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life started in 2002. Since then, hundreds of thousands of our colleagues and customers have taken part in Race for Life events across the UK. And as a result, we've contributed millions to support the charity's life-saving research
Good chemistry
Giving just £5 can help beat cancer sooner. You could kit out one of Cancer Research UK's groundbreaking research labs with the essential chemicals they need - the bread and butter of day-to-day experiments
Early detection
Giving £15 could help tackle early diagnosis and prevention. You could cover the cost of a visitor seeking health information at one of Cancer Research UK's mobile awareness units. That way, you're helping them reduce their risk of cancer and go to the doctor early
Support a trial
£30 can help improve treatments for patients with lung cancer by covering the cost of a trial for a day. Finding out if radiotherapy will pack more of a punch to cancer cells can help stop the disease coming back after surgery
