John Lewis and Waitrose have pledged to continue their efforts to support families in need with a raft of initiatives designed to provide nutrition, warmth and comfort for the vulnerable over the third lockdown and beyond.
The 2020 Christmas campaign had a message of kindness at its heart and raised over £3m for Home-Start and FareShare, with Partners, customers and communities all coming together to Give A Little Love.
Partnership pledges another £2m The current restrictions and ongoing economic impact of the pandemic will only exacerbate these hardships. With this in mind the Partnership has pledged to extend its support, pooling the expertise and passion of Partners, resources, networks and time to meet the specific needs of the most vulnerable in society, backed with a further donation of £2m.
Initially the Partnership will take a closer look at its supply chain, exploring ways to ensure much needed goods, such as food, warm clothing, blankets, pillows and stationery that can be diverted to families in need.
