Waitrose to support community projects
Fresh from sponsoring Reading FC, Waitrose are now supporting local causes.
As part of their nationwide corporate social responsibility initiative ‘Community Matters’, Waitrose will award £12k in funding to community projects in the town (a grand a month).
The initiative launched on Monday, with the first 3 causes to share the £1k monthly donation being:
- Labrador Retriever Rescue Southern England
- Reading & District Hospitals Charity, Dingley Children’s Ward
- Reading Alzheimer’s Society
Shoppers will decide how much of the £1k each cause will be getting by dropping a green token into one of three labelled boxes when they leave the store (the more votes received, the greater the share received).
