After customers and colleagues voted to choose a local charity partner for Sainsbury’s Locksbottom, the store is delighted to announce that Harris HospisCare has been selected.
Sainsbury’s colleagues will support Harris HospisCare by giving their time to the charity through voluntary work.
The store will also organise various fundraising activities throughout the year. Funds raised will go towards projects of the charity's choice.
The store will kick off the partnership very shortly with in-store collections and customers will be invited to join in and support planned fundraising activities.
Elliot Pilcher, Sainsbury’s store manager, said, "We are really pleased and excited to support Harris HospisCare.
"The hard work starts now, but I can definitely see our store building a strong relationship with the charity and making a difference to their work."
