| Funding Description |
Since the launch of Waitrose Community Matters in 2008, each local Waitrose branch has had £1,000 each month to give to three local organisations. Organisations are nominated each month by customers and partners (Waitrose staff), with the final decision on the three shortlisted organisations made by PartnerVoice forums (Waitrose's local democratic bodies). Then, Waitrose customers will be given a token every time they shop which is used to vote for one of these organisations by placing the token in one of three Perspex tubes. At the end of the month the tokens for each organisation are weighed. Then the beneficiaries each receive a proportion of the cash. For more information and to be considered for this scheme, you can collect an application form from a Waitorse store, or contact the Community Matters Champion at your local Waitrose branch. |
