Morrisons hand over charity cheques

Charity Presentation

You may recall Morrison’s local stores Granton and Ferry Road took part in a local derby at Spartans recently and the keenly fought football match raised over £1200 for charity.

Morrisons staff nominated two local charities to receive a share of the money raised, and last week representatives from St Columba’s Hospice and SIMBA (Simpsons Memory Box Appeal) called in to the Granton store on the Waterfront to collect their cheques.

Congratulations to the sporting staff who took part in the big game and well done too to all who generously supported the event.
