GIVE A LITTLE WARMTH

Fuel poverty has become a growing issue for struggling families in recent months. With many people forced to stay at home during lockdown, there’s been an inevitable increase in heating costs, which many simply cannot afford. So, we’re giving a little warmth where it’s vitally needed.

John Lewis & Partners is donating almost 5,000 items of clothing from its babywear, childrenswear, womenswear and menswear ranges to help keep families cosy and comfortable during the third and coldest lockdown.The clothing will be distributed in partnership with Home-Start in 10 locations across the UK where communities have been affected most throughout the pandemic.

GIVE A LITTLE LOVE TO THE NHS

There’s no doubt our healthcare workers are heroes who deserve to be celebrated. That’s why we’re giving a little love to the NHS.Working in partnership with the British Medical Association, we’re providing frontline doctors and nurses across the UK with care packages – 500 of them, across 186 hospital trusts.Brimming with essentials and treats to keep them refuelled and refreshed, the packages show our appreciation for NHS staff and our gratitude for their hard work and dedication during these unprecedented times.

“This is a great initiative. You’re seeing people who are really in need getting healthy, nutritious food. A lot of care and attention has gone into growing it, and to see it getting used as food is very satisfying to us.”
William Burgess,-Produce World

We’re asking our farmers to donate any surplus fresh food, making sure nothing that can be eaten is left behind. In total, five million apples, sweet baby sprouts, crooked carrots and mushrooms will be redirected to help create 1.4 million meals for families in need across the UK.We’ll also support the charity FareShare by offering our delivery vehicles to drop off donations.
