Supporting good causes

wilko has always supported good causes that are close to the hearts of our team members and the communities we serve.

Over the years, we’ve found 1,000s of ways to help raise funds for charities and local groups. From baked-bean baths to bake-offs, we love to get involved. As well as supporting local causes, we’ve always worked with charity partners to help raise millions for fantastic causes.

Families together

Together for Families was set up in 2018 and was designed to support families across the UK when they need it most, and to tackle some of the key social issues often faced by families in their everyday lives.

Since its creation, we’ve partnered with three causes that mean a lot to both our team members and our customers:

Alzhemimers Society
Save The Children
Teenage Cancer Trust

Through the partnership, wilko team members have taken part in a range of fun fundraising activities, from dressing up and sponsored walks to bake-offs and body waxing. Together with customer support, we’ve raised over £2,000,000. Each charity received over £660,000 each (which is over £166,000 per charity per year).
