The Heart of Our Business: Community, Connection, and Giving Back

Maria Challis • June 26, 2025

Just like the heart of a home is the kitchen, the heart of our business is community.

At James James Kitchens, luxury kitchen design is about more than just beautiful spaces, it’s about people. Our commitment to community is at the core of who we are and how we operate. Without the support of our customers, partners, and local neighbors, we simply couldn’t do what we love every day.


Being part of a community means more than just doing business. It means building meaningful relationships, sharing values, and uplifting each other. It’s this spirit of connection that inspires us to give back, to host fundraising events, and to support local causes that matter. When we invest in our community, we’re investing in a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant future for everyone.


Supporting the local community brings benefits beyond the obvious goodwill. It creates a ripple effect. Strengthening networks, opening doors for collaboration, and fostering a sense of belonging that enriches both our personal and professional lives. For our customers, it means working with a company that cares deeply about the environment in which they live and work. For our business, it’s an opportunity to grow authentically, supported by genuine relationships and shared purpose.

James James Kitchens Annual Charity Fundraising Event Hosted in West Kirby

Fundraising events are a special way we bring people together. They allow us to connect beyond the walls of design projects and showcase the power of community spirit. Whether it’s supporting a local charity, sponsoring an event, or championing sustainable initiatives, these moments reflect our belief that giving back isn’t just an action, it’s a responsibility that we love to do!


At the end of the day, community is the foundation of our success and our joy. It’s why we design kitchens that bring families and friends together, and why we strive to be more than just a business. We want to be a force for good. We are deeply grateful for every connection, every partnership, and every chance to give back. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.


We are also proud to announce our annual charity event that raises money for two very important organisations, close to my heart, Northwest Cancer Research and Macmillan Cancer Support. Once again we will be hosting a fun filled afternoon at the James James Kitchens Showroom on Friday 26th September 2025 from 11AM - 3PM and we would LOVE for you to be there.


An exciting addition to this year's event is that we have a fantastic DJ to accompany our scone-off, live raffle, great networking, and other fundraising activities. You will not want to miss it. 

At James James Kitchens, we host this annual charity morning at our West Kirby showroom to raise vital funds for cancer research and for charities supporting patients and their families. We fundraise not only to honour the memory of those we have lost, but to help change the future, because no one should go through this alone, and every person deserves access to timely support and care. 


My husband Paul was just 38 when he died of stage 4 glioblastomas, leaving me and our two young children devastated. Eleven years later, my mum passed away from secondary brain tumours caused by Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. More recently, my nephew faced two separate brain tumour diagnoses by the age of 20, but is thankfully now in remission.


If you can’t make it on the day, please know that any donation you give still makes a real difference. From all of us at James James Kitchens, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for your support. You are amazing.
