SIR - I want to thank every colleague and customer at Morrison's stores for their support for young lives facing cancer. In less than 18 months, they have helped raise £5 million for CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people.

Stores in Idle, Keighley, Mayo Avenue, Skipton, Thornbury and Victoria have raised a total of £30,351.46 as part of their partnership with CLIC Sargent. It is proving so successful that Morrisons have pledged to extend their fundraising target to £10 million by 2020 - £2 million more than forecast at the start of the partnership in 2020.

Since 2017, Morrisons has provided 3,168 families with a grant to help pay for hospital parking, travel costs and basic provisions. The money has also funded a team of Nurse Educators who will work with community hospitals.

The 4,015 children and young people diagnosed with cancer each year will be able to access support and information anywhere, at any time, thanks to a Morrisons-funded transformation of CLIC Sargent’s digital services.

Every day, 12 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. Thanks to Morrisons, we can be there for more of them than ever before.
