BRADFORD-based supermarket, Morrisons, is on course for a record-breaking charity partnership, raising more than £3 million last year for young people’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent.
Kate Lee, chief executive of CLIC Sargent, said: “Our partnership with Morrisons is making a life-changing difference to families facing cancer by helping us deliver services that we simply could not provide before.
“Thanks to Morrisons, we have handed out hundreds of thousands of pounds in grants to ease the financial burden cancer brings and developed a brand new grant for those in extreme financial hardship.
“We have also recruited two brand new nurse educators – an entirely new role within the NHS – to provide specialist cancer care training outside of the primary cancer hospitals.”
On February 4, Morrisons will hold its biggest fundraiser for CLIC Sargent when it marks World Cancer Day. Band Against CancerTM wristbands are available in all stores now, and a nationwide fundraising day will be held across the company on the day itself.
