To celebrate of Morrisons 125th anniversary, the Morrisons Foundation has launched the Community Spaces Fund, which will see 125 charities receive a share of £1m with grants of up to £8,000 each to enhance community spaces and local facilities.

To benefit from the fund, charities need to be recommended by one of the supermarket’s community champions up to 13th July.

Amanda Hamilton, community champion at Morrisons’ Mansfield Woodhouse and Kirkby stores, said: “The Community Spaces Fund is a great opportunity for local charities to bid for funding that could improve our community.  There are lots of community spaces and facilities that would benefit from this funding boost. It will be a difficult choice to make, but I’m excited about the positive impact this fund will make.”

Recommended charities will be invited by their local Morrisons community champion to submit an application by 14th July, with the £1m give away to the final 125 successful applicants being held at the end of August.
