Supporting local communities2

Budgens stores are owned and run by independent retailers, many of whom are family businesses. Our stores have always played an active role in the community, and we are proud to do whatever we can to help during this difficult period.

Budgens Celebrate 150 years

Last year, Budgens celebrated it’s 150th birthday, launching its Budgens Hero Award. All stores were able to nominate a local charity for a donation ranging between £150 to £300. Over the year, funds were given out to a range of worthy causes including Macmillan cancer support, British heart foundation and Yorkshire air ambulance

COVID-19 Support

We need to be thanking our NHS staff for their amazing commitment and care at the moment. We are saying thank you by giving all NHS staff a free coffee & snack when they visit us!!

Thank you to Budgens on Moyser Road - who have helped put together some basic provisions ‘at-cost’ for nurses & front line staff to take home when the supermarket shelves are empty! Coffee, tea, sugar, milk, bread, canned tomatoes, noodles, tampons! #nhsworkers #supportyourlocal pic.twitter.com/gltxOTFy0d

The pair have raised more than £6,700 in total. Budgens in Bilbrook has also helped by raising awareness of the challenge as well as a £1,000 donation and fundraising buckets in store.https://t.co/KdUD2HjB00

I was just treated with such kindness by the local Budgens in Crystal Palace. I wanted eggs! Because I work for the NHS the half dozen he’d put by for himself, he gave to me with discount. #nhsworkers thank you.

Lifting our spirits

Happy birthday Sukhi Sidhu thankyou for being part of my life
Sukhi requested i donate for her #birthday. So i've sent cages of food to COVID-19 #Kenilworth relief effort
Happiness is not something we naturally feel. It comes from your own actions. This gave Sukhi much happiness pic.twitter.com/PRywW0d1xv
