Retail Trust / TRB Charity Partner

The Retail Trust creates hope, health and happiness for everyone in retail.

Since 1832, the Retail Trust has been a charity with a very clear purpose, caring for and protecting the lives of people working in retail.
Our very first Chairman, Thomas Helps described the purpose of the charity as:

“To promote the happiness and interests of those engaged in the trade, whose industry, integrity, and character were too often insufficient to rescue them from suffering and want.”

This still holds true today. It guides everything we do, why we do it and what we believe in. In fact we believe in it so passionately, our charity has become a movement with a very clear cause.

We know that happy, healthy people create a more productive and purposeful business, and we believe the health of our colleagues is the foundation they need to flourish in both work and life, creating a more sustainable and successful future for retail.

Our expertise of wellbeing in retail means we can provide the tools, support and training that ensures people and businesses thrive.
