Championing hope, health and happiness in retail.
From 1832 onwards the Retail Trust has evolved from its humble beginnings at the London Coffee House into the charity we recognise today. Our story would not be the same without the retail pioneers who have honoured our past and continue to shape our future.
The Retail Trust ambassador programme is proud to partner with the new pioneers in retail: over 40 senior leaders who share our passion for putting people at the heart of what we do. By providing valuable time to raise awareness and promote crucial fundraising initiatives, our ambassadors will help us champion health in retail.
