    Making good things happen, together

    There’s only one thing we love more than homes, and that’s the people in them.

    You make our communities the uniquely vibrant places they are, and we’re proud to be a part of them. Together we’ve been making good things happen, and there’s plenty more to come! From supporting nearby causes with fundraising and donations, to in-store events with freebies and fun — if you’d like to get to know your neighbourhood, have a chat and a giggle, and help us bring joy to even more of our community, our Facebook groups are right up your street.

    Let us rehome and recycle your pre-loved cooking, dining, decor and textiles to keep perfectly good items and materials in use, and help bring joy to people in need nearby.

    PASS IT ON

    All year round! From community space makeovers and donations that make someone’s day, we’re passionate about supporting local causes where joy can often be in short supply.

    DELIVER JOY

    Meet up at your in-store Pausa Cafe for popular events like Knit & Stitch groups, skill-shares and small business showcases — or borrow it for your own activities, free of charge.

    Celebrating the difference our communities have made

    We're delighted to be supporting Reach, a registered charity working with people who have learning disabilities in Nottinghamshire, on their innovative one-of-a-kind housing project. In just a few days, Dunelm colleagues delivered, unpacked and built 114 pieces of furniture to transform the house into a real home, ready to welcome 12 new tenants.

    Dunelm is proud to be supporting Age UK to create communities that feel like home for older people. For too many older people in the UK right now, home just isn’t home. For many, it’s a struggle to just survive. Home doesn’t feel like home when you can’t afford to put the heating on or get food in the fridge, yet 2.1 million older people live in poverty and are amongst those worst hit by the cost of living crisis. Older people have the right to feel valued, feel included, and feel the joy of being truly at home. Which is why Dunelm is supporting Age UK over the next three years aiming to raise at least £2 million.

    If you want to skip the planning but are still interested in fun get-togethers, over 30 stores have a Knit & Stitch group to bring the crafty-minded together. Between personal projects, these groups often make gifts for local causes, including care homes, premature babies, and presents as part of Delivering Joy at Christmas.

    Our community groups began in early 2020, as we all experienced life in lockdown and wanted to stay connected and put our skills to good use. Between us, customers and colleagues made 35,000 washbags for key workers, wrote 100s of cards to brighten the days of care home residents, while stores gathered donations to lift the spirits of carers too.
