To mark the new store opening, B&M staff were asked to nominate a local charity to receive “VIP treatment” for their work.
Bexleyheath Foodbank was named the winning charity for their work to supply food for people in the area, ensuring those in need receive vital food supplies and support.
The charity was selected to open the store along with staff and will also receive £250 in B&M vouchers to go towards the work the charity do in the local community.
