Making a Difference in the Communities We Serve
At Checksave, we believe that making a difference goes beyond providing quality products and great value. It means investing in people, supporting local communities and creating opportunities for a brighter future.
Our Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives focus on community upliftment, child welfare, education and youth development. Through partnerships, sponsorships, donations and community outreach programmes, we aim to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.
We are proud to support the communities that support us, with a particular focus on initiatives across KwaZulu-Natal.
Our CSI Focus Areas
We believe that strong communities are built through care, collaboration and meaningful contributions. Our CSI initiatives focus on several key areas.
1. Child Welfare & Community Support
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn and experience a happy childhood.
Checksave supports child welfare organisations and community initiatives that bring joy, care and essential resources to children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our contributions include food donations, goodie bags, refreshments, activity materials and sponsorship of community events.
One example is our support for Verulam Child and Family Welfare, where we sponsored an event for approximately 1,000 underprivileged children, providing goodie bags, activity books, fruit, juice and volunteer support.
2. Youth Development & Empowerment
We believe in investing in the next generation and creating positive experiences that inspire young people.
Through our collaboration with We Are Durban, Checksave has supported annual Youth Day beach outings for approximately 250 children from organisations including Operation Bobbi Bear, Khulani Children’s Home and Molweni Community Centre.
Our contributions have included lunch packs, caps, volunteer T-shirts and staff participation, helping create memorable experiences for children and young people.
3. Education & School Support
Education plays an important role in building stronger communities and creating opportunities for future generations.
Checksave supports local schools and educational initiatives through sponsorships, product donations, fundraising activities and community partnerships.
Our support has included sponsoring hampers and refreshments for the St Mary’s Merebank fair, as well as awarding prizes to Riverdene Secondary School through a till-slip competition.
4. Local Community Sponsorships
We understand that meaningful change often begins at a local level.
Through our stores and community partnerships, we support neighbourhood initiatives, community events, school fairs and other activities that bring people together.
Whether through product donations, sponsorships or practical assistance, we are committed to finding ways to support the communities around our stores.
Building Stronger Communities Together
At Checksave, we recognise that meaningful community impact is achieved through working together.
We value the organisations, schools, charities, community groups and individuals who dedicate their time and resources to improving the lives of others.
By supporting initiatives that promote care, opportunity and togetherness, we hope to contribute towards stronger, more connected communities.
