Funding

 

Argos in the Community

The Group makes charitable donations through the Home Retail Group Partnership Fund, which was set up in 2007. The fund is governed by a committee comprising senior management and an external appointee.

Who will they support:

* Registered charities and non-profit making organisations in countries where Home Retail Group operates
* Projects that are measurable with a lasting legacy.

They do not consider applications for the following causes:

* Advertisement
* Animal welfare
* Individuals
* Music, art and entertainment
* Political or campaigning groups
* Projects funded from local or central government
* Religious groups
* School capital projects and specialist college status
* Sponsorship
* Third parties - either individuals or groups raising funds on behalf of charities.

Charity partnerships

The Partnership choose a new charity partner for staff fundraising every two years. Colleagues have the final say as the decision is made by vote from a short list of three UK charities and their Irish partners.

From July 2008, the Group charity partner is the British Heart Foundation and Heart Children Ireland. A new Group partner will be sought for July 2010.

How to get funding:

Proposals for funding should be mailed to the following address, quoting reference HRG-PF:
Lorna Liggett
Community Affairs Manager

Milton Keynes MK9 2NW

They aim to acknowledge all applications that qualify within 10 working days of receipt. Projects will be reviewed and approved by senior management.
