Community
A warm welcome to our Poundland community page.
Since we first opened our doors in 1990, Poundland, and our customers, have a long and proud history of giving back to communities. Over the years we’ve helped raise millions of pounds through charity partnerships to do what we can for those who need a helping hand.
In particular, over the last five years our Foundation has made an amazing difference thanks to generous donations from customers, inspirational fundraising by colleagues, and support from suppliers including:
- £1.6m to Make-A-Wish® to help them grant wishes for hundreds of children
- £1.46m to Tommy’s to support projects including their Midwives Helpline and Miscarriage Support Tool
- Over £1.3m to Whizz Kidz to provide mobility equipment for hundreds of young people
- £600,000 providing new sports kit for almost 10,000 children via Kits 4 Kids
- £100,000 to Family Action to support its FamilyLine
- £150,000 to support Trussell’s UK foodbank network
- £300,000 to support Together for Short Lives provide hospice care for critically ill children
A massive thank you to all customers, colleagues and suppliers who’ve made that possible through their donations and the generous giving of their time.
And we’re now opening a new chapter in our community giving as we simplify our business and focus on what matters to customers.
Two simple causes – Make-A-Wish® in the UK and Barretstown in the Republic of Ireland, that our stores, service centres and distribution centres are going to really get behind to change the lives of the kids and families they support.
We look forward to telling you more in the months ahead about what we’re doing to support these amazing partners.
Love
Poundland
