Communities

Communities

Everyone wants their home to be safe, warm and welcoming. Yet millions of people across Europe still live in homes which are unfit – too small, too dark, too cold, too damp – or experience homelessness. We want to help.

We will fight to fix bad housing – donating our products, expertise, funding and time to help people whose housing needs are greatest in the communities we serve.

Our target

  • Help more than two million people whose housing needs are greatest by 2025.

Our FY22/23 progress

  • In FY22/23, we invested £5.4 million in our communities, and our colleagues and customers raised an additional £2.8 million.
  • 2.1 million people supported through our projects since FY16/17, hitting our target three years ahead of schedule.

Our Charitable Partnerships

  • We have partnerships with national charities, Shelter and MacMillan Cancer Support in the UK, Fondation Abbé Pierre and Compagnons Bâtisseurs in France, and Habitat for Humanity in Romania and Poland.

Our foundations

Our network of foundations and charitable partnerships across our banners now covers the UK, France, Poland and Romania, supporting charities working to improve housing and community spaces.
