At Gold Traders, we believe that being a good business means being a good neighbour. We're proud to have been founded in Royal Wootton Bassett, and giving something back to the community - and to the people who've served our country - matters to us.

How We Raise Money for Charity

Not everything that arrives with us turns out to be precious metal. Costume jewellery and silver-plated flatware are common examples - items that look the part, but aren't gold or silver. When that happens, we always give the customer a choice.

Some customer's choose to have their non-precious items returned, which we're happy to do. For those who decide to leave the items with us, we do our best to put them to good use.

Turning the Unwanted into Something Worthwhile

When customers leave those items with us, we bundle them into job lots and sell them through trade channels. Every penny of profit from those sales now goes directly to charity.

It's a simple idea - but a meaningful one. Items that might otherwise have had nowhere to go can instead make a genuine difference to people who need it.

The Charities We Support

We donate to two charities - one local, one national. Both have a very special connection to Royal Wootton Bassett, the town where Gold Traders, and our sister companies, are all rooted.

The Richard Jones Foundation

The Richard Jones Foundation is a local charitable trust that has been quietly supporting the young people of Royal Wootton Bassett since 1696 - that's over 300 years of investing in the community.

The Foundation provides grants to young people aged 7 to 25 who live within the Parish Boundaries of Royal Wootton Bassett. Those grants help towards things like educational trips, study materials, sporting and artistic activities, outdoor experiences, and support for apprenticeships and workplace schemes. The Foundation also sponsors the annual Endeavour Award at The Royal Wootton Bassett Academy.

Why We Chose The Richard Jones Foundation

As a business built in this town, supporting the young people who grow up here feels like exactly the right thing to do. The Richard Jones Foundation has been doing this important work for centuries - long before Gold Traders existed. We're proud to play a small part in helping it continue.

BLESMA - The Limbless Veterans Charity

BLESMA is the national charity dedicated to supporting serving and ex-service men and women who have suffered life-changing limb loss, loss of the use of a limb, an eye, or their sight - injuries sustained in service to our country.

Last year alone, BLESMA provided direct support to nearly 2,700 limbless veterans and widows, made over 1,000 grants to help with the extra costs of disability, and carried out more than 13,000 welfare visits and contacts. This is a charity that supports people for life - not just in the immediate aftermath of injury.

Why We Chose BLESMA

Royal Wootton Bassett has a deep and lasting connection to the British Armed Forces - and to the cost of service.

Between 2007 and 2011, the hearses of 345 men and women killed in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan passed through our High Street, repatriated via nearby RAF Lyneham. On 167 separate occasions, the people of this town lined those streets to pay their respects. Nobody organised it. Nobody was asked to. It simply felt like the right thing to do.

In recognition of what this community did, Queen Elizabeth II granted Royal Wootton Bassett its Royal status in 2011 - the first town in over a century to receive such an honour. With it came our town motto: "We honour those who serve."
