London Office Annual Gathering
03rd November 2025 Veterans who had worked at the London Offices held their 7th gathering at The Doggett's Coach and Badge pub on the riverside of Blackfriars Bridge next to our old Stamford Street complex. The sun shone brightly so over 150 former colleagues were able to bask outside on the top floor terrace or mingle in the indoor bars. "The News" were there to cover the event along with a Sainsbury Archive team and Pension department representatives to answer queries. A raffle raised £1,080 for the Sainsbury Veterans Welfare Scheme. The committee led by Bill Williams are already looking at a May date in 2026 so watch out for details. Membership queries for those who have worked in one of the London Offices should be made to: Londonofficemembership@virginmedia.com 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 If any misuse of the discount is found, the benefit could be withdrawn from you.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
