Tesco West Durrington launched its community market day in April with a free event featuring local traders offering freshly-made produce, crafts and gifts.
It proved a great success, with stallholders' fees going to the store's chosen charity.
Hayley Newberry, community champion, said: “Our first community market day raised more than £1,500 for St Barnabas House hospice, so we were inspired to arrange more.
“We held our second on Saturday, July 25, for Littlehampton RNLI and raised £1,558.78. We had more than 25 local stallholders, face painting and an ice cream van - we even had a pop-up sauna in the car park. It was a really lovely community event.”
Hayley said the success of the community market day means more have been arranged for the months to come, with the next one, booked for August 15, raising money for Sight Support Worthing.
In the autumn, there will be a market day in October in aid of Oscar's Wish Foundation, a Sussex-based charity offering support to those affected by the loss of a baby, and two in November for the Royal British Legion, one of which will include a military display.
