BEING PART OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IS AT THE VERY HEART OF WHAT WE DO AT WARNER’S. EVER SINCE WE OPENED OUR FIRST STORE BACK IN 2007 WE HAVE MADE IT OUR MISSION TO BE GENUINELY INVESTED IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES AROUND OUR STORES - AND WE LOVE IT!

Every community is unique, so we look at how best we can meet each one’s unique needs. Through taking the time to speak to local schools, sports teams, charities, clubs and community groups, we get to really understand how we can be most supportive. Whether it’s donating food and drink for a local event, purchasing sports kits for a nearby team, contributing towards the day-to-day running cost of a children’s breakfast club, or a school visit to one of our local suppliers, we are very flexible and creative in the ways which we support local communities.

The Warner’s Community Savings scheme has been running for over 15 years and has resulted in over £50,000 being donated to local groups and charities. Our loyal customers are at the very heart of this initiative, getting to choose who they would like us to support. Tokens are earnt for each £10 spent instore, which can then be deposited into a collection box for whichever local group or charity they like most.

We support two local groups or charities every 6 months and at the end of the period we turn the tokens into cash and present them with a cheque (or a bank transfer in this day and age!) 

MEET OUR CURRENT COMMUNITY SAVINGS SCHEME CHARITIES

CARDIAC RISK IN THE YOUNG

Following the sudden loss of 14-year-old Matthew to an undiagnosed cardiac condition in December 2024, fundraising efforts are helping to protect young people across the local community. Money raised goes directly towards heart screenings for all Year 11 students at The Chase High School in Malvern, with hopes to expand the programme to other local high schools in the future. The screenings aim to identify hidden cardiac conditions before tragedy strikes. Every week in the UK, at least 12 seemingly fit and healthy young people lose their lives to undiagnosed heart conditions.

MALVERN SPECIAL FAMILIES

For almost 40 years, Malvern Special Families has been helping children with disabilities and special educational needs enjoy safe, supportive, and fun social opportunities. Through evening, weekend, and holiday clubs across Malvern and Worcester, they create inclusive experinces for children aged 5-17, while also providing families with valuable respite. Continued community support and fundrasing help ensure these vital opportunites remain available for local families
