What is Local Pride?
Costcutter is Proud to be Local, which is why our Local Pride charity is so important to us.
Local Pride is a charity dedicated to raising much-needed funds for good causes and charities across the UK. It allows customers to raise money for good causes and charities by purchasing specific products. And the great thing is it doesn't cost you any more money!
Products are specially selected every three weeks and a few pence from each sale goes straight into your retailer's Virtual Charity Bank. As the money accumulates your retailer can nominate a charity or good cause in their local area to receive a donation, such as a local football team in desperate need of new kit.
Over the last few years Costcutter has helped raise over £700,000 to help to make a real difference to the local communities that the Costcutter stores serve. So if you know of a worthy cause in your local area why not speak to your local Costcutter retailer to see if they can help.
Local Pride is a responsible charity and takes every step to ensure donations are properly made and that recipients of any donations comply with strict guidelines. Retailers taking part in charitable activities must submit a formal application nominating their chosen charity or good cause. The nominated charity or good cause is then vetted to make certain that donations are awarded to genuine beneficiaries. Only after the application has been processed and the charity or cause has been vetted can a donation be made.
Local Pride is governed by a board of directors who receive no remuneration from the charity and are in place to ensure the nominated charity or good cause is genuine, the proposed donation will be used for the purposes outlined in the nomination and that the money will be spent well.
