Exeter’s John Lewis store has announced the next three charities to receive support through its Community Matters scheme.
John Lewis customers are directly involved in how much money is donated to each charity, as they are given the ability to vote through the Community Matters scheme.
The scheme enables customers to receive a token at the till, which they then pop into the box of the charity they would like to receive funds. At the end of each round of voting, John Lewis splits a £3,000 donation according to the proportion of the customer vote they received.
