Sainsbury’s has opened a new Local store on Wilford Road, Ruddington, Nottingham, creating 15 jobs and pledging to support local organisations.
Among those set to receive support in the coming months is the local branch of Riding for the Disabled, which has been chosen as the store’s Local Charity Partner for the next 12 months.
To mark the beginning of the new relationship, representatives from the charity joined councillor James Norton in cutting the ribbon to officially open the new store. In the coming weeks, Sainsbury’s will also buy the charity much-needed equipment to the value of £500.
Store manager, Angie Radford, said:“We know our customers care about making a difference to the community, which is why our Local Charity Partner initiative is so important. We’re delighted to be working with Riding for the Disabled over the coming months, and look forward to working closely with other community organisations.”
Another Local Sainsbury’s store has also opened in Aylesbury creating 18 jobs for local residents.
Among the 18 new recruits joining the 24-strong team are those who have been taken on through the Jobcentre and online after struggling to find work.
The new 2,600 sq ft store, which was opened by pupils from nearby Broughton Junior School, will stock a range of fresh and frozen produce, plus a range of products for those with wheat, gluten and dairy intolerances. The store also boasts a bakery and a car park with 14 spaces.
At the launch, pupils were presented with a variety of sports equipment from the Sainsbury’s Active Kids range. The school will also receive£500-worth of equipment from the store, with a further £500-worth of toys and puzzles going towards the Buckinghamshire Play Association.
Store manager Paul Agate said:“We’re looking forward to making a positive difference to the community by supporting them through donations, in-store collections, and colleagues volunteering their time at events.
“We’ve already pledged to support the local school and play association, and will soon be launching our local charity of the year initiative shortly, so are interested in hearing from any local organisations looking for support.”
