Our contributions
Boots has been at the heart of many communities for over 150 years. And we want to be the kind of neighbour who makes a real contribution to the quality of local life.
Last year Boots UK donated over £4.4 million to the community through charitable donations, gifts in kind, management costs and employee time:
