Frequently Asked Questions

B&M Charity page FAQs
  • What is the Community Fund?

    The Community Fund champions charities and projects close to our stores. We focus on local causes that genuinely impact our customers, environment, and the communities where we operate. Often, our colleagues help identify these causes, ensuring meaningful grassroots support that truly makes a difference.

  • What do you fund?

    We support a wide array of charities and initiatives, from hospices and lifesaving services like air ambulance charities, to homelessness support—and now much more:

    Mission Christmas (2025): Helping deliver millions of toys to children in need during the festive season.

    Mind (Mental Health): A five-year partnership, raising over £100,000 via greeting card sales to support helplines and peer-to-peer services.

    Independent Age: A new initiative in collaboration with P&G, whereby customer purchases will donate 5p from every purchase made, to support the great work the charity do.

    Continued support for local charities such as Glasgow’s Children’s Hospital Charity, Mustard Tree, and Pride of the Isle, as well as national campaigns like Mission Christmas and the Great Get Together.

  • Can I apply?

    We don’t accept unsolicited applications for the Community Fund. To ensure focus and impact, our colleagues actively identify and nominate local organisations.

  • How else do we support charities?

    Alongside the Community Fund, new store openings are another key touchpoint for community giving:

    • Colleagues nominate a local charity to officially open new stores—sometimes alongside ribbon-cutting opening ceremonies.
    • Recent beneficiaries include Telford Crisis Support, Berwick Community Trust, and Brothers of Charity Services Scotland—all receiving £250 in B&M vouchers to further their vital work.
  • Do you allow Charity Collections/Leafleting?

    Whilst we love to support charities and good causes, unfortunately our stores cannot accommodate collections, sign-up campaigns, or leafleting either inside or outside.

  • What we don’t support

    Donations
    We’re currently directing support through the Community Fund and store openings and cannot donate to every request (e.g., raffle prizes, school appeals, individual asks).

    Sponsorships
    While we actively donate to causes colleagues care about, we do not provide sponsorship for individuals or groups.
