Morrisons supporting Hastings homeless appeal
The scheme was launched, in the store, by Local Platinum Champion Brett McLean and Morrisons Community Champion Rosie Adams.
It encourages customers to pick up a bauble from the Christmas tree and when they pay for their shopping hand the bauble to the checkout staff who in turn will charge the value of the bauble which will then automatically become a donation to Surviving The Streets. Baubles are in £5, £2 and £1 values and located by the store entrance.
