Waitrose has continued to give to worthy causes as part of the scheme, but this was done without the physical customer voting mechanic in store.<\/p>\n<p>This October, the tokens are back and Waitrose has refocussed the causes and programmes being supported, with food very much at the centre. As the Home of Food Lovers, many of the charities will help tackle hunger, bring people together, empower healthier lifestyles and create a more sustainable food system for future generations. This is why at least one of the three available causes to vote on, will be food related.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-01-at-12.26.44-1024x801.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-01-at-12.26.44-1024x801.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-01-at-12.26.44-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-01-at-12.26.44-768x601.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-01-at-12.26.44-1536x1201.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-01-at-12.26.44-2048x1602.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"b__quote l__space\" id=\"block-2-quote\">\n\t<div class=\"l__container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"b__quote__inner b__quote--peach animate hidden slideUp\" data-delay=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload b__quote__tapestry desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/png\/peach-arrows.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyload b__quote__tapestry mobile\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/png\/peach-arrows-long.png');\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Tapestry Design\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<p>\u201cOur greatest love at Waitrose is of course, food.
