Who we are and why we’re here
When the Retail Trust was founded in 1832, our mission was simple: to stand alongside people working in retail through life's challenges and opportunities.
As our first Chairman, Thomas Helps, put it:
“To promote the happiness and interests of those engaged in the trade, whose industry, integrity, and character were too often insufficient to rescue them from suffering and want.”
Almost two centuries on, our purpose remains just as relevant. We believe everyone working in retail should have access to the support they need to stay healthy, happy and well. It's a belief that drives everything we do and powers a growing movement for positive change across the industry.
Our cause
To create hope, health and happiness for everyone in retail.
Our beliefs guide the way we behave with one another, our partners and colleagues in retail.
Championing health in retail. From 1832 onwards, we have been championing health in retail. We are always looking for new opportunities to help and provide hope to our people.
All in. One Trust. We’re at our best when we are collaborating seamlessly together with our partners and customers to look after the health of our people.
Transforming lives for good. We make a difference by empowering people to lead happier lives. And we follow through on our word, always.
