Superdrug in the community

Being a responsible retailer is core to our activities and in 2006 we launched a long term partnership with the Prince's Trust to support young people with potential through a programme of fund-raising, employee involvement and creating job opportunities. Since then we have been working to raise funds and awareness to support charities which work on skin cancer campaigns.
