- Donations from Morrisons Foundation made as part of the retailer’s 125th anniversary celebrations
The Morrisons Foundation has celebrated the retailer’s 125th anniversary by donating up to £1 million to charities across England, Scotland and Wales to help them continue to deliver the important work in local communities that serves those in need.
125 Charities from around the country have received grants of up to £8,000 in support of their essential work, with donations helping with plans such as developing community spaces, enhancing local facilities and providing support for those that are vulnerable or disabled.
All charities receiving support were nominated by Community Champions at Morrisons stores nationwide.
Community spirit has always been at the heart of Morrisons which was started by its founder, William Morrison, as an egg and butter market stall for local customers and the ‘Community Spaces Fund’ was set up earlier this year in celebration of Morrisons 125th Anniversary. David Scott, Morrisons Foundation Chair of Trustees, said: “Morrisons has been a great neighbour to the local community for 125 years, and our Community Spaces Fund continues that heritage. The donations will allow charities from all over England, Scotland and Wales to carry out necessary works and development that will provide better services to more people that need it, and we are proud to play our part in helping to make that happen.”
The Morrisons Foundation was set up by Morrisons supermarket in 2015 and awards grants for charity projects which help improve people’s lives. Since launching, over £44 million has been donated to hundreds of charities across England, Scotland and Wales.
