REFLECT- OUR COMMUNITY WHEEL OF SUPPORT – THE MALL LUTON
The Mall Luton released a video at the end of 2021 to celebrate the community support initiatives undertaken by the team during the pandemic. Using their Community Wheel of Support as a planning tool, the shopping centre had supported a wide range of initiatives and sustainability projects to improve services to the local community whilst reducing their impact on the environment. The video includes contributions from local charities and groups who have benefited from the support of The Mall and its customers, along with details of the many projects they have successfully delivered.
In 2021, the Centre supported 38 charities and 33community groups, investing over £100k into the Luton community and donating over 600 volunteering hours. Level Trust, Keech Hospice Care and Big Change Luton are just some of the charities the centre supported, with the centre’s Charity of the Year, Luton Foodbank benefitting from a ‘Tap to Donate’ scheme, drop off point for food donations and£10,706.59 raised from Santa’s Grotto during the festive season.

In the following months, Level Trust, Keech Hospice Care, the Royal British Legion, Mind (Bedford, Luton & Milton Keynes)and Discover Islam were featured, providing a free and extensive platform for each of the organisations to talk about their role in the community.
