Charity Support
As an independent, family business we have always looked for opportunities to give back to our local community. Over the past 100+ years, we have given away many thousands of draw prizes and supported and sponsored many local events and organisations.
We continue to make regular contributions to the Harts of Stur Charity Account so that annually we can make a substantial contribution to support one or two local causes, for the benefit of the whole community. The selected charities will be chosen by our team each year.
Each year, we are proud to support charities that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. For 2026, we are honoured to be supporting Julia’s House and Dementia UK, two organisations providing vital care, comfort, and guidance to families across the UK.
Julia’s House
Julia’s House is a children’s hospice charity supporting families in Dorset and Wiltshire who are caring for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
The charity provides respite care, emotional support, and end-of-life care, both in hospice settings and in families’ homes. All services are delivered free of charge and funded through donations, NHS support, and fundraising. Julia’s House also relies on volunteers and community support to continue its vital work.
Dementia UK
Dementia UK is a national charity dedicated to supporting people living with dementia, along with their families and carers. Its mission is to ensure that no one faces dementia alone.
At the heart of its work are Admiral Nurses, specialist dementia nurses who provide expert, ongoing support. They offer practical advice, emotional reassurance, and guidance to help families navigate the complexities of dementia care, both now and in the future.
Funded primarily through donations, the charity works nationwide to improve care standards, raise awareness, and influence health and social care systems so that everyone affected by dementia receives the support they deserve.
Rainy Day Trust
The Rainy Day Trust is the only charity which exists solely to help people and their families in times of need who have worked in the UK’s home improvement and enhancement industry. Redundancy, accidents and illness are always a possibility and The Rainy Day Trust is there to help when the need arises.
The Trust provides support, help and training in a number of ways, from financial assistance (assisting with the payment of utility bills, essential household maintenance, mobility equipment and installations etc) through to helping people get back on their feet and providing additional training and support.
The charity relies on donations, fundraising and support from their members and partners in order to provide the level of care their beneficiaries deserve.
