Morrison shoppers dig deep
Generous shoppers who visited Morison's
over the weekend of 28-30 September donated a total of
£1,181 to their local St John Ambulance
division.
No other funding
The first aid charity collected for three days at the
Basingstoke Road store proved to be the most successful yet. Kim
Adrian, County Fundraiser said: 'We have raised more this
year than ever before which is great news. Across
all three Morrison stores in Berkshire we are 104% up on
previous years, so it was definitely worth standing outside in the
cold for! We would like to thank everybody who
donated and also the volunteers who stood outside the store'.

Contrary to popular belief, St John do not receive any
government funding and are not part of the NHS, so
donations are a vital source of income to them.
Kim continued: 'Many people don't realise how much we
rely on donations, but those who stop and talk to
our volunteers are soon happy to help us once they realise that the
money is all put to use on a local level.'
