Supermarket raises record total for the Poppy Appeal, thanks to volunteers collecting in store
Morrisons in Littlehampton has raised a record total for the Poppy Appeal, thanks to volunteers collecting in store.
Last year's amount was beaten by more than £1,000, with a final figure of £7,233 announced by the store on Friday, November 13.
A spokesperson for Morrisons said: “Every year we welcome volunteers from the Royal British Legion into our stores to sell their famous Poppies to raise money for the Armed Forces community and commemorate those who’ve laid down their lives in defence of our country.
“Poppies are made available in all our stores, including Morrisons Dailys and offices. If you shop online, you also have the opportunity to donate when completing your order.”
Last year, Morrisons raised more than £2.3million for the Royal British Legion.
As the UK's largest Armed Forces charity, it is dedicated to supporting the needs of serving personnel, veterans and their families. Donations enable the charity to provide financial advice, legal guidance, recovery services and six care homes, including five specialising in dementia care.
