London Office Annual Gathering
13th May 2026 Dear London Veteran, It was great to see such a good attendance at the Doggett’s on May 14th for our seventh annual get-together. The weather was very kind to us and as always, the Doggett’s did us proud. Please find attached a Newsletter from David Hatch to commemorate the occasion, which hopefully will give a flavour of the event both for attendees and for those who unfortunately could not join us. At the event, attendees donated generously towards the Veterans’ Welfare Scheme raffle, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed. For anyone else who wishes to support former colleagues less fortunate than ourselves, you firstly need to go to https://www.sainsburysveterans.co.uk/ and then click on the purple box labelled ‘Donate to The Sainsbury Veterans Welfare Scheme’ at the top of the page. As you can see from the Newsletter, next year’s event at the Doggett’s has already been scheduled for Wednesday 13th May 2026 if you want to put that in your diaries now. Finally, if you know of any colleagues who would like to join our group, please get them to email londonofficemembership@virginmedia.com and we will add them to the membership list. Many thanks, Keith and David On behalf of the London Office Veterans Committee Read more
Using your veterans discount card
23rd October 2024 We want you to enjoy using your veteran discount card benefit, and although there is no limit to how often you can use your discount, it’s important that you are using the card in the right way. Here’s a couple of the key rules to remember when using your discount. Key Rules • Your discount card is to be used by you or your spouse/ partner only, and must be signed by both of you on the reverse of the card - as the recipient of the benefit, you're accountable for the actions of your spouse or partner when they're shopping with your discount card • If you do not have a spouse or partner, you should sign both signature boxes on the reverse of the card • It 's important when using your veteran discount card that you're using your own payment card/ cash for the items you are purchasing • You can buy food or drink to entertain others, using your own payment card/ cash, as long as you are the host, and you're not receiving any reimbursement for goods you have purchased • You can buy items to give as gifts, using your own payment card/ cash, as long as you're not receiving any reimbursement. If any misuse of the discount is found, the benefit could be withdrawn from you. A full set of scheme rules can be found in the Tell Me More section of this website. It's important to read through and understand each of these rules to make the most out of using your veteran discount. Read more
