SAINSBURY’S in Liverpool’s central business district is giving £500 to Merseyside Children’s hospice, Claire House.
The cash, donated by the Old Hall Street store, will go towards the cost of a charity fundraising event.
The store’s charity co-ordinator, Geo Harris, said: “I’m very happy Sainsbury’s has offered this grant – it will help Claire House accommodate its children with new and improved facilities and equipment.
“It sounds clichéd, but I really do want to make a difference and this grant will do just that.
“Being a part of Sainsbury’s, I’m able to create a positive outlook on charity and awareness to the community. When we heard about Claire House Children's Hospice, we were really pleased to be able to help out.”
Ms Harris and staff at the store raised thousands of pounds for the charity last year. They organised a series of events, including one to coincide with last summer’s World Cup, and Ms Harris also took part in a charity abseil.
