The Partnership view

Our community vision is to be truly public spirited, bringing people together to create happier and healthier communities.

“Being a force for good in the community has always been part of the Partnership’s commitment to being a better form of business. Our Partners like to get practically involved at a local level where they can make a real difference and benefit from the experience by learning new skills.”

Gemma Lacey, Head of CSR, John Lewis Partnership
