Community Contributions

Where advertised, eligible purchases help support the mission of TUC+U through our charitable initiatives.

These contributions are managed by TUC+U and do not create a legal or contractual relationship between customers and any charity, organisation, Community Partner or individual recipient.

Community Response Fund

The Community Response Fund exists to provide practical assistance to individuals, families and communities experiencing genuine hardship.

Support may include financial assistance, donated goods, donated services or other practical assistance.

Requests and nominations are carefully reviewed. Where appropriate, TUC+U may consult with trusted grassroots charities, community organisations, Community Partners and local support services to better understand community needs and determine where available assistance can create the greatest impact.

Support is provided at the sole discretion of TUC+U and is subject to available funding, donated services, available products and identified need.

Submitting a request or nomination does not guarantee assistance.

The Collective Choice

The Collective Choice allows members of the community to nominate grassroots charities and community organisations making a genuine difference.

All nominations are reviewed carefully and considered against TUC+U's values, community impact, demonstrated need and available resources.

Submitting a nomination does not guarantee funding or selection.

TUC+U reserves the right to determine which organisations receive support.

Support is given as products, services or skills, not money, and may include:

  • Donated products.

  • Volunteer assistance.
  • Professional expertise.

Participation as a Community Partner does not create an employment, agency, joint venture or legal partnership unless otherwise agreed in writing.

TUC+U reserves the right to accept, decline or discontinue Community Partner relationships where necessary.
