A year after its launch, Waitrose's Community Matters initiative has raised £12,000 for 36 different good causes around Canary Wharf.

The scheme, which allows customers the chance to vote on which of three charities get the biggest slice of £1,000 each month, celebrated its first birthday last Thursday.

Charity donations may have taken a hit during the recession, but one scheme involving a Canary Wharf supermarket and its shoppers has remained strong.

Waitrose's Community Matters scheme kicked off last September and is nearing its first anniversary having given £1,000 a month to various charities in the area.
