Supporting local communities

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

A big thank you to the NHS and key workers

• 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
