A partnership between Morrisons and Together for Short Lives has raised £10,722,514.

The funds, collected over two years and nine months, will support children's hospices across the UK, including Martin House Children's Hospice in Yorkshire.

Martin House provides specialist palliative care for more than 550 children with life-shortening conditions from across West, North, and East Yorkshire.

The funds were raised through various initiatives by Morrisons colleagues, including in-store fundraisers, marathons, treks, and skydives.

Martin House also benefited from Morrisons' promotional event, Every Pack Gives Back, as well as charity products including a branded Together for Short Lives bear; a tote bag; and pin badges.

Rosie Mellor-Silvester, head of mass relationships at Martin House, said: "We are delighted to have benefited from the partnership between Morrisons and Together for Short Lives.

"We were partnered with 28 stores across our region, and have received over £350,000, which will hugely benefit the children and families who rely on Martin House for our specialist care and support."

Nick Carroll, Together for Short Lives CEO, added: "The Morrisons partnership has allowed us to raise millions for children’s hospices across the UK, just like Martin House, which are a lifeline to seriously ill children and their families."
