There are over 450 Pets at Home stores across the UK and each of them can choose a local charity to champion throughout the year through the Community Partner scheme. Pets at Home Community Partners have the exclusive ability to go into store throughout the year to fundraise, recruit volunteers and supporters, and raise awareness of the work they do for their local community. Community Partners are also invited to take part in annual fundraising events hosted in Pets at Home stores to raise needed funds for their valuable work.

Over 30 Cats Protection branches and centres are partnered with their local Pets at Home store through the Community Partner scheme in 2023, and this year’s Easter fundraising appeal in April raised an amazing £17,512 for Cats Protection! The next fundraising appeal is due to take place in December this year, known as the Santa Paws appeal. If you’re a Pets at Home customer, keep your eyes peeled when shopping in store through December – your local store might just be supporting a Cats Protection branch or centre through the Community Partner scheme!
