Selco Builders Warehouse reaches a £1m milestone for Cancer Research UK through store charity events and colleague fundraising.
Selco Builders Warehouse has reached a significant charitable milestone, raising over £1 million for Cancer Research UK. The builders' merchant has been a corporate partner of the charity since 2022, with staff across its nationwide branch network organizing fundraising initiatives ranging from store raffles and trade counter giveaways to marathons, mountain climbs, and head shaves.
Reaching seven figures in charity fundraising demonstrates the strong relationship between local trade branches and the communities they serve. Selco, which operates dozens of branches across England and Wales catering exclusively to trade card holders, has relied heavily on the active participation of store colleagues and trade customers to hit the target.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
While this milestone does not directly alter the shelf price of timber, sheet materials, or power tools, it highlights the ongoing charity partnerships present across major trade counters. Tradespeople shopping at Selco will continue to see charity drives, supplier-sponsored event days, and local branch promotions that often run alongside trade discounts.
