Eye on CSR
Community, Commitment And Passion Makes Up The Millions For Henderson Retailer’s Charity Efforts T In the years since retailer and wholesaler Henderson Group was established, there are clear and tangible results which show their contribution to community, employment, charitable organisations, and commitment to local industries and the environment is more than just a tick-box CSR exercise.

o the Group, its retailers and staff, there is a clear energy which runs throughout all of their actions, whether its group volunteer days with local schools to learn about their careers or climbing a mountain in aid of one of their charity partners. Every action that the Group and its employees make, matters and makes a difference for those on the receiving end of it. Henderson’s EUROSPAR and VIVOXTRA brands have just
announced they have smashed through the £1,000,000 mark for their charity partner, Cancer Fund for Children – the first corporate partnership to reach such a milestone for the organisation, which has been running since 1973 and partnered with Henderson’s for the past eight years. Bronagh Luke, Head of Corporate Marketing at Henderson Group says the milestone is a testament to the drive their retailers have for the charity; “We have 67 EUROSPAR
and VIVOXTRA Community Supermarkets across Northern Ireland, and each has contributed significantly towards this total – and not just in pounds and pence. “Over the years, team members have been unbounding in their support for the charity and are always keen to be part of worldwide treks and community fundraisers as many have had their own experiences of childhood cancer where lives have been inexplicably changed.
