Sears Group Trust Donations to Charity Link and Retail Trust.
Sears Group Trust has, for many years, supported and worked alongside Charity Link and Retail Trust– each of which are like-minded charities which may be known to many of you.
These charities provide invaluable assistance and support to vulnerable people and sadly their services have never been more essential than they are now.
Charity Link serves those in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland, overlapping areas where many former employees of the Sears Shoe businesses live.
Retail Trust helps individuals/families employed in the retail trade and its reach extends nationwide. Links to both charities’ websites can be found on the Links page of this website.
In recent times and recognising the exceptional services they perform, Sears Group Trust has made special donations to each of Charity Link and Retail Trust to support them in their invaluable work. The Sears Group Directors hope this will be a great help to them both.
