Local support
Discover how we support charities and good causes local to you.
B&Q is part of communities across the UK and is proud to support initiatives that make a difference. Whether it's through charity partnerships, fundraising, volunteering, donating, or building awareness of important issues, we believe in making a positive change through action.
Donating products
The main way we support local charities and community groups with product donations is through our Community Re-Use scheme. You can find more information on our Community Re-Use page.
Last year, we donated more than 50,000 items to 600 local good causes through our Re-Use scheme.
Volunteering
This September, we are uniting our colleagues to transform 300 spaces for charities in our local communities. From helping decorate a hospice, to creating a new storage area for a foodbank, we will give our skills, product, funds and time to improve these spaces.
Last year, we transformed 73 spaces for local charities. Watch our video below to find out more.
If you’d like to register an interest in receiving support, this September, send an email to bandq@neighbourly.
Partnerships
Our charity partners are the B&Q Foundation, Shelter, and British Red Cross. We also partner with Neighbourly to manage our Community Re-Use scheme and help us connect with local good causes.
We focus our fundraising efforts on supporting these partners and do not allow charity collections in store for non-partner charities.
Please note that B&Q cannot support initiatives relating to:
- Political parties or causes
- Religious organisations whose principle aim is to propagate a particular faith or belief
- Personal appeals by, or on behalf of individuals
