Our mission is to help our customers create a home where they can thrive. A sanctuary from the stresses of life.
But the UK currently has a housing emergency with a shortage of affordable and social housing. This means that many thousands of people do not have a secure home. We strongly believe that this is something that cannot continue, so we are delighted to support Shelter as our Charity of the Year for 2025.
Because ‘home is everything’.
Our pledge:
• A donation for every free chip sample returned to Karndean head office to be re-used or recycled. The latest total for 2025 is 13,718 returned samples, raising £6,859.
• Fundraising events at our showrooms including Evesham head office and showroom, Material Source Manchester, Material Source Glasgow and Clerkenwell, London.
• A donation for every employee who supports Shelter with their paid volunteering day.
• Donate excess flooring to four Shelter retail stores for either reuse or resale.
Why get involved?
Recent figures from Shelter show that at least 354,000 people in England, including 161,500 children, spent this Christmas without a home - a shocking increase of 14%, 44,500 people, in one year. Shelter is campaigning for social justice and a fairer housing system with more social homes, better renters' rights, and a stronger welfare system that supports people through tough times.
