Raise a Smile is Morrisons campaign to support charities, by bringing together our suppliers, colleagues and customers to help make a real difference. Raise a Smile is about making it easy for everyone associated with Morrisons to work together, providing support and valuable help for worthwhile causes. We do this by arranging fundraising activities like charity collection and the development of special charity products.
Last year, our customers and colleagues gave over £1.1 million to Help the Aged and Childline. A fantastic result which has provided valuable support to 100,000s of vulnerable children and adults across the UK.
This year we’re Raising a Smile for Cancer Research UK, and we're aiming to raise over £1 million for their life-saving research. As part of our partnership we want to help them share important health information with our customers – watch out throughout the year for messages about how to reduce the risk of cancer and spot the symptoms early, as early detection saves lives.
Wherever you see the Raise a Smile logo at your local Morrisons it means you, our colleagues or suppliers are helping us Raise a Smile for Cancer Research UK.
