Building Happier Futures

Building happier futures for young people from care

We believe that every child and young person should have a fair start in life. But this isn’t the case for many of the 108,000 young people growing up in the UK’s care system. We have been struck by the unfairness faced by many children and young people whose childhoods were spent in care, who don’t have the safety net of family to call on. 

At the John Lewis Partnership we are driven by our purpose to work in partnership for a happier world. As co-owners, we want to use our position as an employer and retailer to do what we can to harness the talent and improve the lives of children who have grown up in care.  

That’s why we have made long term commitments to be there for our young people who are care experienced, supporting them through those crucial life moments. 

GIVE A LITTLE LOVEIn December 2020, we launched our Give A Little Love campaign, aiming to support families in need.. Since its launch, Give A Little Love continues to engage Partners, customers and communities and has generated over £5m for FareShare and Home-Start and other organisations local to Waitrose and John Lewis shops.
LWG logo
