During December, colleagues at our Gloucester branch came together to donate items and create a hamper in support of the Gloucestershire Forces Hub and Roots Café.
Pictured is Chris Auker-Howlett from the Gloucestershire Forces Hub with Mark Jones, collecting the hamper.
Chris spoke about the important role Roots Café plays as a welcoming community space, supporting a wide range of groups including veterans, people experiencing homelessness and wellbeing initiatives. The donated items were shared via the café’s free access fridge, helping provide essential food for those in need, including homeless veterans.
The Gloucestershire Forces Hub works to combat loneliness and provides a single point of contact for support, including mental wellbeing advice, housing and employment assistance, links to military and civilian charities, and promoting awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant.
Roots Café is a not-for-profit community café and refill shop in Gloucester, with all profits reinvested into local activities, offering an inclusive and accessible space for the community.
A big thank you to our Gloucester team for their generosity, and to both organisations for the vital work they do supporting people across Gloucestershire.

Warners of Gloucester Limited trading as Warners Tewkesbury and Warners Gloucester is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Warners of Gloucester Limited trading as Warners Tewkesbury and Warners Gloucester to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
