Our Local Charity Partner, the British Heart Foundation, came into store on Saturday 7th August for a collection day and raised £217.00 and would like to extend a huge thanks to all our customers and colleagues.
In the Staff canteen we also have a Donation Bin to collect clothing, shoes, handbags, DVD’s and Bric-a Brac that can be donated directly to the two shops in Sale Centre.
From the 30th August until the 10th September the British Heart Foundation will be holding a Donation Station within the store. The first week will be volunteers handing out collection sacks to customers and the second week will see us collecting in the donations in the store foyer. Customers will have the convenience of donating their unwanted items and dropping them off whilst doing their regular shop.
The Sale Community Police will be holding another surgery in the Foyer on Sunday 29th August to talk to customers.
During the summer holidays we have successfully been authorised to offer two local schools, St Margaret Ward Primary and Springfield Road Primary £100 each under our Community Grant Scheme.
St. Margaret Ward will be revitalising their vegetable patch and Springfield Road will be starting a Healthy Eating Tuckshop. Press release

Sainsburysat Sale & Altrincham bring some floral sunshine to the community
There
will be a change in the way Sainsburys at Sale & Altrincham
sells cut flowers. Instead of discounting these floral arrangements,
we will be donating these bouquets to local charities.
Sainsburys has recently introduced this policy, to help the
local community and also reduce the amount of wastage produced by
the company as a whole. Both stores are very involved with their local community and Steve
Whittle, Duty Manager at Sale says This is a great scheme.
We are able to give something to our local communities and reduce
waste".
From
the 18th May any waste food that is not suitable for charity donation
will be returned to one of our depots instead of being disposed
of in a skip. The food waste returned will be rendered into oil
and fat and in turn be used as fuel, cutting down the volume of
food that goes to landfill. |
